246 Years of Freedom July 4, 1776 - July 4, 2022

 IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated  Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Connecticut's Never Ending Democrat Party Crises

 Connecticut apparently now has never ending Democrat Party crises.  Connecticut Democrat Party crises sure look to be unusual to the casual observer.

Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal has crises all of the time since he is a well known expert on everything and anything in our economy and society.  This allows for him to spew gibberish daily, in front of a camera like a bully and a true failed politician.  Just look how far Connecticut has declined over the years with him as both Attorney General and now as a Senator.

Democrat/Gun Control Fanatic/Geography expert United States Senator Chris Murphy has crises all of the time also since he must fund raise off of everything and anything in our economy and society.  Murphy who apparently is the Senate's expert on guns and gun control while not understanding the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. He also does not understand the minds of criminals and mentally impaired people who use guns.  Thus we have a gun crisis not a crime crisis nor a mental health crisis in our society.

Democrat/Socialist Governor Ned Lamont has crises all of the time since he is both the nation's Covid-19 expert and can amazingly earn massive profits from Connecticut Taxpayers monies through his family's hedge fund.  Remember  that these profits can never be revealed to the taxpaying public.   Although Covid-19 is no longer a health issue Connecticut still has a Covid-19 crisis so that it can continue to get Federal monies to battle it.  This crisis now lasts through December.  Connecticut is now going to be a vacation mecca for those seeking a legal up to full term abortion according to Lamont and his party.  At the same time those living children who have escaped a Connecticut induced abortion must continue to follow strict guidelines of getting vaccinations over their free will for Covid-19, keep wearing masks, be encouraged to change their sex/gender at any time while growing up and making sure they learn critical race theories rather than work/life skills for their future families and employment while attending Connecticut public schools.  

The real crises that should be looked at of runaway inflation, runaway state short/long term debt, unfunded liabilities, excessive crime, excessive murders, an out-of-control drug overdose/drug death problem, a high suicide rate, exorbitant home heating oil, gasoline, diesel prices, over taxation, the destruction of the family core and state government corruption seem never to be addressed by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  I wonder why?  And I wonder why the state run media in Connecticut has become an extension of the Connecticut Democrat Party along with state government labor unions?

Reality at some point in time will be cruel to everyone involved in this theater of the absurd call state government.  The reality that the real crises in Connecticut got ignored for too long and at the cost of many lives, ruined families, failed businesses, the depression based state economy and the unethical society that the state nurtures.  Failures in policies should not be viewed as successes as they are to the Connecticut Democrat Party.  The fools that masquerade as politicians are the cancer of Connecticut.  Their lies are noticeable.  Their lack of ethics is deplorable. The failure to call this out daily enables them. And it is 1776 all over again.

What Are The Solutions To The Connecticut Democrat Party's Economic Failures?

I look back at the last two years since the Covid-19 economic crisis was bestowed upon Connecticut and wonder what really happened?  I also look back at the last 30 years and wonder why Connecticut has regressed so badly economically and socially?   Years of  omnipotent one party rule of the Connecticut Democrat Party along with a feeble and timidity moderate Republican Party in many cases has helped to nurture Connecticut into a vast economic wasteland of high taxes, excessive laws and regulations, an arrogant and elitist state union work force, a political patronage system of Connecticut Taxpayer funded state jobs, excessive electric costs, secret "quasi public" agencies, a total lack of economic transparency and a general sense of economic Armageddon on a daily basis.  This year's election highlights how this same economic Armageddon is being talked up by the Connecticut Democrat Party as how great of an economic utopia Connecticut really is.  What economic world does the Connecticut Democrat Party live in?  And realistically what is the economic breaking point for Connecticut Taxpayers with runaway Democrat inflation, $5 a gallon for gas, $6 a gallon for home heating oil, state and local taxes anywhere and everywhere along with an even higher state diesel tax on July 1?

Connecticut is in an economic free for all due to the mountain of economic problems that have been created by the Connecticut Democrat Party over the years.  The cure all Connecticut state income tax has been a ticket to increase spending massively since its passage and has done little to stabilize Connecticut's economy.  Look at the state budget now.  Why is over $24 billion dollars being spent on a yearly basis in a state as small as Connecticut and with as few legal citizens that it has?  What are Connecticut Taxpayers getting for their money and their excessive taxes they are paying the state?  Connecticut's elected officials continue to avoid a real solution to the massive $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt, along with unfunded liabilities or in simpler terms the $62,500 plus of debt each legal Connecticut resident must be burdened with living in the state.  This along with the massive amount of corruption in state government should be the two defining issues in the Governor's race.  Sadly it is not.

For too long in Connecticut Taxpayers work around the clock to pay the taxes to support the economic debacle called state government.  With the precious few exceptions in the State House and State Senate, our elected officials are political puppets of the special interest groups that have elected them.  Look at the high property taxes in Bridgeport, New Have and Hartford.  Look at the crime, murders and lack of economic mobility in Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford.  

And look at who has run Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford forever.  

Thus can we offer any economic solutions to Connecticut's Democrat Party induced economic crisis?   What Connecticut really needs is an overhaul of its state government and massive privatization of state agencies and departments to create greater economic efficiencies in state government.  Since that will not happen as the sacred cow in Connecticut is public labor unions, then what are the alternatives?  

First Connecticut needs to cut its bloated state budget.  Connecticut's government must learn to do more with less as Connecticut Taxpayers must with the runaway Democrat inflation they are dealing with.  As a start all state management employees should be instructed by the Governor that their budgets need to be cut by 10% immediately.  Figure it out, find a way and solution now.  Connecticut taxpayers are led to believe that these highly paid Commissioners and managers are the best and brightest in the state so they should be able to do this.  Or is it reality that these same Commissioners and managers are ill suited and unqualified to lead their departments as they are only political patronage jobs from both parties so that the donor can be rewarded for that big campaign donation and or no bid state contract?

Second every Connecticut state agency, associated non-profit, and "quasi public" needs a full forensic audit and public online document disclosure  from top to bottom.  A full accounting of every penny spent, every piece of equipment, every building and piece of real estate owned.  If items are missing find them and account for them.  See where money is being spent and wasted.  I can only imagine how much fraud and monetary losses this encompasses.  

Third since Connecticut would be cutting the budget by over $2 billion dollars as a start with its 10% cut in every department, then $2 billion dollars in taxes need to be cut immediately.  Start with cutting taxes that will spur the most economic activity in the state to once again stimulate the economy that in turn creates more productive tax revenues.  And eliminate all corporate business tax subsidies and giveaways, including the failed Department of Economic and Community Development.  It has done little to nothing for the state economy other than to waste Connecticut taxpayers hard earned money and should be viewed as political payoffs especially for Ned Lamont's family hedge fund.  

There are solutions to the Connecticut Party's economic failures over the past 30 years.  But the changes are severe and politically unpopular.  And the larger question that is never answered is why must Connecticut Taxpayers continue to support this malignant munificence upon a political ruling class that clearly has no ability to govern and represent the common citizens its supposedly represents?  Why must Connecticut Taxpayers support this year in and year out?  And where are the solutions being spoken by the minority party through this economic tsunami?  Think about this as you are forced to pay your mandated taxes to the State of Connecticut to support this incoherent and costly gibberish that is claimed as law.  It really is 1776 all over again.

More Questions With No Answers On Connecticut's Genome Profit Testing

 My blog last week dealt with the costs and privacy issues of Sema-4's genome testing on Connecticut residents who have apparently been tested for Covid-19.  Last Tuesday Tony De Angelo who has a weekly radio spot with Lee Elci on WJJF 94.9 FM radio in New London, CT continued to question these issues with Ned Lamont, Sema-4,  payments to Sema-4, and genome testing.  Again this past week there has been deafening silence from the state run media and from both political parties on these severe breaches of continuing payments to Sema-4 and your medical privacy.  More payments were made this past week to Sema-4.  They include $2,905,575. on June 14, 2022 and $1,623,075 on June 15, 2022.  Prior to this $2.1 million dollars worth of payments were made to Sema-4 on April 30, 2022  after they supposedly quit all testing in the state in March 2022.  Sema-4 then received $6.6 million dollars in payments from April 30, 2022 to June 2, 2022.  Why all these payments?  Is Connecticut healthier now than before?  It does not seem so especially with all of the different Democrat Party related crisis Connecticut citizens must deal with such as infant formula shortages, rampant crime and theft, runaway inflation for food, businesses moving out of the state, a nursing shortage, runaway inflation for gasoline, diesel, and heating oil and high local/state taxes.

My questions that apparently will not get answered anytime soon are as follows as related to genome testing: How are all of these payments made possible with little evidence of purchase orders, work orders and why are the payments being made so quickly now?  One right after the other?  How many genome tests were done and to who in the state?  Were these state residents notified of these tests and in what manner?  How much were these tests costing Connecticut Taxpayers?  $250?  More?  Less? What do these tests prove and or disprove?  Again I thought a citizens medical information is private and was not being data mined to a company like Sema-4?  And why was this information so essential to the never ending Covid-19 crisis?  A crisis in which those who were most vulnerable were never protected by Governor Ned Lamont and his family's hedge fund workings or the state as seen by the amount of deaths in the states nursing and rehabilitation homes.  

Government actions need to be questioned.  Especially in the case of genome testing and payments. Personally I no longer believe our government has its common citizens best interests in mind with the unyielding and omnipotent power government at all levels exhibits on its citizens.  The same citizens who toil endlessly in a maze of governmental bureaucracy, corrupt non profits and "quasi-publics", and incoherent laws, rules and regulations to satisfy the false narratives that government dictates.  Washington and Hartford is a quagmire of theft and deception whose only concern is personal political gain and profit.  It is beyond being a swamp.

 I would again like to thank a common Connecticut citizen, Tony De Angelo, and the Lee Elci radio show for this investigative work in exposing this rape of personal freedoms in the state and rip off of Connecticut Taxpayers.

This issue will continue to be a defining issue on the Governors race.  Connecticut's government continues to be an unethical and incoherent debacle.  I guess lies are truth and truth are lies when it comes to genome testing and paying for them.  However one day truth will prevail again in our society.  It is 1776 all over again.

Democrat Connecticut-Where You Have No Medical Privacy Especially For Genome Testing

 Why isn't our medical information private? Why is this information allowed to be shared with a company that has direct ties to Ned Lamont's families hedge fund?  Where are the actual contracts that allowed this to happen?  How much is it costing Connecticut Taxpayers for this supposed legal theft of personal information?

Tony De Angelo who has a weekly radio spot with Lee Elci on WJJF 94.9 FM radio in New London, CT was the first individual in the state to bring these issues with Ned Lamont, Sema-4, payments to Sema-4, and genome testing to light for the public.  I like to expand and bring this issue back into the public view of Connecticut Taxpayers and voters.   When reading Connecticut's state run media news reports one finds little to no information on this issue.  Why is that?  Fraud seems to have taken place, payments have been made to Sema-4 with apparently no paperwork involved, and amazingly once again Ned Lamont's family hedge fund has profited off the backs of Connecticut Taxpayers.

Why did Sema-4 receive a second no bid state contract for genome testing on Connecticut's children and other Connecticut citizens?  If one looks closely at the contract one would see that genome testing was taking place on any individual no matter age who tested positive for Covid-19.  The information on this was apparently then kept by Sema-4 and then sent to a database in Munich, Germany (this is considered the subcontractor in the work order).  Two purchase orders were issued by the State Public Health Department one for $688,500 and one for $500,000.  The time frame for these two purchase orders was September 28, 2021 for payments.  If one looks at the Connecticut record of payments made to vendors you can see that $2.1 million dollars worth of payments were made to Sema-4 on April 30, 2022  after they supposedly quit all testing in the state in March 2022.  Sema-4 then received $3.6 million dollars in payments from April 30, 2022 to June 2, 2022.  What were these payments for?  Were any purchase orders and or contracts issued for these payments?  There seems to be a massive amount of errors, back tracking, breaking of the contract, not breaking of the contract, why they were paid, where data went, where data did not go, and damage control to justify the additional $3.6 million dollars worth of payments that were made to Sema-4 on April 30, 2022  after they supposedly quit all testing in the state in March 2022.   However in my opinion it is impossible to both understand and to justify these payments other than Ned Lamont's family hedge fund has a financial interest in Sema-4 that obviously runs much deeper than Connecticut Taxpayers interests and ethics.   

Also what happens when Ned Lamont loses the election for Governor?  How will Ned Lamont's family hedge fund continue to make money off of Connecticut Taxpayers?

The bigger question is why did this personal medical information on genome testing take place?  And why is this information now in some sort of database in Munich, Germany?  Who can see it and why must they see it?  Was the Covid-19 virus just a big experiment to gain profits for an elite few such as Sema-4 and Ned Lamont's family hedge fund?  I thought your personal medical information was private and not part of a vast socialist experiment by a ruthless political ruling class?  Sadly all of my questions and questions of many others continue to go unanswered.  I would like to thank a common Connecticut citizen, Tony De Angelo, and the Lee Elci radio show for this investigative work in exposing a horrific debacle of payments and testing that never should have happened nor been paid out.  

This issue will be a defining issue on the Governors race.  Connecticut's government is an unethical and incoherent debacle.  It is 1776 all over again.

United States Senator Richard Blumenthal's Energy Crisis Has Crippled America

 Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal has to be constantly shocked at the current "polls" showing him in an unfavorable light for what he thought was going to be a runaway re-election and crowning of another six years of being a do-nothing Senator.  Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal obviously must go on the offensive.  So what better subject to be upset about but the new energy crisis and high energy prices that Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal along with Joe Biden and his corrupted company help to create in the name of "clean" energy which is not economically viable at this time.  Obviously Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal was told by his handlers that somehow Connecticut voters were somewhat upset with gasoline prices of over $5 a gallon, diesel fuel at over $6 a gallon and home heating oil at over $6 a gallon.  Thus Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal came to the rescue with a meaningless photo op press conference stating that he would get to the bottom of these high prices and save the day.  Unfortunately the day is long gone economically to be saved.

Does Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal remember during President Trump's Administration that energy prices were much lower?  Does Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal remember that during this time frame America was energy independent and exported energy to the rest of the world? Does Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal remember the massive amounts of employment and economic growth that took place during this time frame?  Does Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal remember surpluses in balance of payments in trade during this time?  Does Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal remember how much overall economic growth took place in our economy right up to the planned pandemic his party helped to create?  To me it seems that Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal has become very forgetful over the past 18 months of the current economic debacle his party has created.  Is it a sign of his age?

Thus another photo op, another press conference, more rhetoric, more song and dance routines, more excuses, more yelling, more stoic Senate hearings, more pictures in the press, and much more blaming everyone except himself and his corrupted Democrat Party for creating runaway inflation and the new planned energy crisis of 2022 when America was energy independent 18 months ago.  Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal owns this issue and crisis.  He has failed miserably his state and country as United States Senator.  The price gouging is being done by himself and his corrupted Democrat Party.  He has lost the upcoming election.  He has failed our state and country.  It is 1776 all over again.

Government Is The New Theater-A Bad Movie That You Are Forced To Watch

I have come to the conclusion that our government at all levels is our new theater.  It has replaced the works of writers and real actors who provided us with drama, mysteries, comedies and the like  years ago.  For our government today represents today a bad movie we can never get out of our head nor really want to watch any more.  But we are forced to watch it every day 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  It is the new entertainment.  It is the show of all shows providing millions of legal Americans a glimpse of how far we have fallen as a society and as a country since our inception and formation in 1776.  It shows how inept our elected officials have become.  It shows how corrupted our elected officials have become.  It shows how selfish our elected officials have become.  It shows how economically illiterate our elected officials have become.  It shows how and why our elected officials want to strip us of our personal freedoms. It shows how our elected officials have become relentless in their quest to turn America into a new and failed Socialist and Communist state.  

Whatever the crisis the bad government theater has a new script, a new drama, a new quest to hurt America and its citizens.  Just look at the never ending Covid-19 crisis. Just look at the never ending deaths from drug overdoses crisis.  Just look at the never ending illegal immigration crisis.  Just look at the never ending human trafficking crisis.  Just look at the never ending abortion crisis.  Just look at the never ending children being murdered in school crisis. Just look at the never ending supply chain crisis.  Just look at the never ending young people suicide crisis.  Just look at the never ending crime crisis.  Just look at the never ending corrupted elected officials crisis.  Just look at the never ending politically correct crisis.  Just look at the never ending BLM/race/critical race theory crisis.  Just look at the never ending not enough spending on social welfare programs crisis.  Just look at the never ending jobs crisis.  Just look at the never ending housing crisis.  Just look at the never ending gender change crisis.  Just look at the never ending climate change crisis.  Just look at the never ending corrupted local government crisis.  Just look at the never ending corrupted state government crisis. Just look at the never ending gun crisis.  Just look at the never ending tax crisis.  Just look at the never ending education crisis. Crisis, catastrophe, emergency, disaster, calamity.  Pick one and act, create a theater of the absurd, a theater of pain and suffering, a theater of false promises and lies, a theater where right is wrong and lies are truth.  And preach it every day 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

America and Connecticut has superb actors and actresses that parade as our elected officials.  Watching Joe Biden,  Nancy Pelosi, Ned Lamont, Richard Blumenthal, Chris Murphy and others act daily is truly laughable.  Over 150 years plus of "government" experience has helped to bring both Connecticut and our country to the point of economic ruin, the destruction of our young children, the destruction of the middle class and most importantly the destruction of most personal freedoms in our lives.  

Government should have the best and the brightest of a society in it.  It should have people from all walks of life and ideologies in it.  It should be concerned with the people in the economy that they supposedly represent.  It should provide the essentials needed for economic growth, personal freedom and safety for all.  It has none of that at this time.  Instead our government at all levels has warped into a forced slavery of crime, murder, indoctrination, excessive taxation, corruption and theft.  Theft of freedom and ideas.  A political ruling class who shows daily the absurdity of their ideas.  This theater needs to end on November 8, 2022.  It is 1776 all over again.

More Bad News For Soon To Be Former United States Senator Blumenthal.

Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal has to be shocked at the current "polls" showing him leading by a mere 10 to 15% depending on the Republican candidate he ends up facing in the upcoming November election.  In my opinion and the opinion of many others Blumenthal has helped to create his own political demise this November.  Recently the ever attention grabber wants an immediate investigation as to why there is a shortage of baby formula in Connecticut and nationwide.  I personally do not understand why he is concerned with this as he was the lead author of the Democratic abortion rights bill.  This bill would apparently allow abortion at any time including birth (www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/4132/text).  Reading this bill's text is alarming and shows the blatant disregard for human life that Blumenthal has.  His hypocrisy is even more evident as he was well aware of the impending shortages of baby formula by the actions of the FDA back in February but apparently has had no need to respond until his theatrical press conference of a few days ago to bellow his desire for yet another investigation.  Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal has demanded so many investigations over the past five years and shown little to no results in functional solutions to the problems that his omnipotent Democrat Party has created for the country.  Nor has he answered why he has such close ties to the Connecticut People’s World Committee, an arm of the Communist Party.  Why did he accept their "award"?

Just look at the energy crisis that Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal has no answers for.  All that oil that he helped release from the Strategic Reserve has done nothing for the Democrat energy crisis.  Wasn't it Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal's President Biden who shut down the Keystone Pipeline and a great deal of American energy production when he took office?  Didn't the Senator realize what that was going to do to America's energy markets?  Is Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal that economically illiterate to see the economic destruction it was going to create for our economy?  Or since Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal is a multi millionaire he really has no concept of what it is like to actually be productive in the economy and work for a living.  He has no struggles other than maintaining his grip on grooming his ego for all to see and embrace on a daily basis.  The hypocrisy of Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal is amazing.  And his rhetoric especially now in one of the greatest economic crisis our country has ever faced since the Depression is sickening especially to the Connecticut Taxpayers who must listen to his gibberish.  The same Connecticut Taxpayers and voters who must decide on whether they can afford food any more since energy prices are so high.  No big deal to Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal since his job is to maintain himself and the political elite who worship him.

Election day is fast approaching.  Whoever wins the Republican nomination for United States Senator must offer example after example of the incompetence of Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal.  Whoever wins the Republican nomination for United States Senator must show that there is a total lack of solutions to the grave economic problems offered by Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal.  Whoever wins the Republican nomination for United States Senator must expose the disrespect and disregard for the people of Connecticut that Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal has shown them for years now.  His time has passed, his rhetoric is stale and his lies are increasing daily.   Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal must and will lose his election in November.  It is inevitable.  It is 1776 all over again.

 

The Connecticut Democrat Party Has Lost The Middle Class vote In 2022

 Inflation, inflation and more inflation.  Taxes, taxes and more taxes. Food staples in short supply.  Infant formula in short supply. Another day of $150 billion dollars worth of short and long term debt and unfunded liabilities and still no word on a solution by the Connecticut Democrat Party or Ned Lamont.  Another day of high inflation and still no word on a solution by the Connecticut Democrat Party or Ned Lamont.  Another day of $6+ per gallon heating oil used to heat homes and still no word on a solution by the Connecticut Democrat Party or Ned Lamont.  Another day of inflationary energy prices making driving to work a luxury for the middle class and still no word on a solution by the Connecticut Democrat Party or Ned Lamont.  Another day of excessive diesel fuel prices that are crippling the trucking industry and still no word on a solution by the Connecticut Democrat Party or Ned Lamont. Another day of not knowing how much in profits were made unethically and illegally during the manufactured Covid-19 crisis by Ned Lamont's family hedge fund and still no word on a solution by the Connecticut Democrat Party or Ned Lamont.  Another day of no solutions to any of Connecticut's problems by the Connecticut Democrat Party or Ned Lamont.

The Middle Class in Connecticut continues to be attacked on all sides.  Those with children in public schools see little actual education going on but a great deal of indoctrination on sex education, gender change, while privilege,  BLM, socially correct history, proper gender pronoun use, distorted math problems,  socialism and communism.  Parents who are now shocked by this garbage being taught their children are now pulling their children out of public schools and home schooling them and or trying to enroll them into charter schools.  The Middle Class in Connecticut is many cases are working more than one job to try to make ends meet due to the excessively high taxation, high energy prices, high food prices, high housing prices, high utility prices, and to protect their families from the excessive crime in the state.  Many of the Middle Class in Connecticut have lost their businesses during the Lamont shutdowns.  Many of the Middle Class in Connecticut have lost their income from rental properties during the Lamont shutdowns.  Many of the Middle Class in Connecticut who are retired are going to be forced by to go back to work quickly, give up food or go broke since their investments continue to drop in value.  Many of the Middle Class in Connecticut continue to move out on a daily basis for many years now.  What is their future and hope to stay in a state such as Connecticut with everything around them being so socially incoherent and economically illogical?  Why must they support a state government so out of touch with both social and economic reality?  Why must they take orders from a bunch of politically elite and politically corrupted individuals?  Why must they sacrifice so that Connecticut's employee unions, elected officials and politically connected profit off their labor?  Why is this right?

The Connecticut Democrat Party and Ned Lamont has lost the Middle Class vote this coming November.    No matter how they wish to twist the grim economic reality of Connecticut it has lost completely this voting block and group.  Say goodbye to them.  No amount of cruel and unlimited abortions will get them back either.  They lost them.  The Connecticut Republican Party needs to understand this. What the Connecticut Democrat Party and Ned Lamont don't understand is that the Connecticut Middle Class is beyond their breaking point and have had enough of their lies.  What the Connecticut Democrat Party and Ned Lamont don't understand is that the Connecticut Middle Class truly understands completely the games these political hacks play and how they have damaged the state's economy to almost a point of no return.  The Connecticut Democrat Party and Ned Lamont forgets that the Middle Class knows that the state still ranks last or near last in most economic categories, is in the top five state in the country for the highest taxes and has $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities.  The Connecticut Middle Class or whats left of it will not accept the Connecticut Democrat Party and Ned Lamont's lies any more.  The Connecticut Middle Class are not fools nor slaves any more to the Connecticut Democrat Party and Ned Lamont.  It is 1776 once again.

The Connecticut Democrat Party New Tax And Spend Budget-Just More Of The Same

 It seems like it is always more of the same with the Connecticut Democrat Party when it comes to the new state budget.  Every two years Connecticut always seems to have some economic/employment crisis that impacts its budget.  It has been the same since the infamous Lowell Weicker/Democrat Party state income tax was passed back in 1991.  If the state income tax was not passed then Connecticut apparently would have sunk into the Atlantic Ocean or better yet would have had to cut state spending.  As a tradition each year state spending and state taxes go up.  To the point today that a state as small as Connecticut and with a declining state population now is spending over $24.2 billion dollars in its next budget.  That seems like a great deal of money for a state that continues to rank last or near last in all economic categories, highest taxes in the country, still has not recovered from the 2008-09 recession and has a mere $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities.  And realistically this new budget looks a great deal the same as previous Connecticut Democrat Party budgets, more cash for state employees, more cash for those who are politically connected to the Connecticut Democrat Party, more corporate welfare payments to those who are politically connected to the Connecticut Democrat Party, higher taxes especially for the trucking industry in this budget, more money for education, more money for social welfare programs and free health care for illegal immigrants in the state.

In this new budget I especially enjoy reading the $2,000,000 being given for direct flights to Jamaica at Bradley Airport.  I did not realize that there was such a demand by state taxpayers to fly to Jamaica nor did I realize that they are responsible for both subsidizing the flights and paying for their air flight tickets to this country.  For the apparently overworked judiciary employees/judges a mere 5% per year raise after the massive increases they just got in 2021.  For example a Superior Court Judge pay was increased from $180,460 to $189,483.  Nor overlooked is the area of non union pay increases in most departments and lump sum payments accounting for a 2.5% pay increase for each of the next three fiscal years, 7.5% in total and $3500 in lump sum payments combined for the next two fiscal years.  Thus it seems apparent that non union state employees are getting the same pay increases just like the massive union pay package that was negotiated behind closed doors this year. The Urban Act got an addition $120 million dollars of which $20 million dollars is authorized for apparently low income housing.  These are just a few areas I looked at in the 243 page Act to adjust the state budget never mind the state budget itself.

It is sad that the 243 page Act to adjust the state budget that was passed isn't the leading news story on Connecticut's state run and subsidized media.  The outcry from it I believe would be enormous as to where Connecticut Taxpayers monies are spent and on what.  It a free for all of giveaways for anything and everything in the state.  And sadly with another $24.2 billion dollars being spent it will do little to improve a state that continues to rank last or near last in all economic categories, still has not recovered from the 2008-09 recession and has a mere $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities along with yet even higher taxes coming.   Good money keeps being spent after bad money.  More money to fund pet local projects.  More money for state employees salaries, benefits and pensions.  More money lost in corporate welfare schemes to keep a few jobs temporarily in Connecticut before the business moves to a lower taxed state.  More money spent on bonds and now much higher interest rates on borrowed money.  More garbage being force fed to Connecticut Taxpayers.  This budget proves to me there is little change in Connecticut and spending continues to increase, taxes keep going up and nothing changes.  And the next budget will easily surpass $25 billion dollars and more.  And the one after that ditto, etc.  Nothing changes.  And throw in pay raises for State Legislators and we add insult to injury.

Thus the Connecticut Taxpayer has yet another conundrum to solve in the upcoming election.  They are being told by Ned Lamont and his Connecticut Democrat Party how great the state has become over the past two and four years under their leadership.  The reality they see is the same stale rhetoric being spoken not does not work.  They see a state where their family and friends are moving out daily.  They see a state where they are no longer safe with crime and car thefts spiraling out of control.  They see a state where drug abuse, drug overdoses and suicides are accepted with little if anything being done about it.  They see a state where abortions must be legally guaranteed and children's sexes (for those who are not proudly aborted) must be changed beginning at a young age and paid for by insurance companies.  They see a state where the elderly and disabled lives were deemed worthless during the manufactured and profitable Covid-19 crisis by the irrational policies that were implemented, deemed as law under the Governor's Executive Orders, those same people had to suffer a painful death trapped in nursing homes and rehabilitation centers from the virus.  They see a state where lies are cited as truth and the truth destroyed as a lie.  Connecticut Taxpayers seem to have had enough of this abuse and misuse of their monies supporting a corrupted state government.  It is 1776 all over again.

The Democrat Party's Runaway Inflation Crisis

 When I was a Freshman in High School in 1972, I first started to study and learn about the economy and inflation.  I have studied the economy and its related components for the last 50 years earning a Masters Degree in Economics many years ago and teaching Economics and Business classes for 40 years now at colleges and universities throughout the country.  In my classes over the years I have taught at times where there was inflation however I have never taught during the time frame that we live in today that includes runaway inflation.  Runaway inflation is the worse type of inflation that an economy may have and can be defined as a rapid increase in the price level with a massive decrease in the value of money. Runaway inflation is caused by several factors that include excessive government spending of money, an excessive expansion of the money supply through the issuing of more money into the economy by government and a lowering of productivity and elimination of economic growth in the economy.  Currently we have all of these issues and more in our economy that are causing runaway inflation and they can be directly tied to the failed economic policies of the Democrat Biden Administration.

Many mistakes have been made by the Biden Administration and the Democrat Party led Congress.  America had energy independence and security through the Trump Administration mainly due to more drilling of oil domestically, the fracking of natural gas and the Keystone Pipeline.  These components allowed for very low energy prices to exist in our country and for stable prices to exist.  One of the first things the Biden Administration did was to create an almost immediate dependency on foreign oil in the guise of creating non polluting green energy policies that somehow does not use fossil fuels.  There has been a large push to go to electric vehicles that still must use a form of fossil fuel energy to charge the vehicles batteries and are pretty much not affordable for the general working public due to their massive costs.  A much wiser policy was for our country to continue to be energy independent while allowing the tools of the free market system to help develop the alternative energy markets and products that would become affordable for the economy.  This misguided policy that the Biden Administration slammed on the economy has led to runaway inflation, massive increases in transportation costs which in turn have increased the costs of all products and goods delivered to stores in the economy.  The biggest supply shock has been to the cost of food items in the grocery stores which are fast making food a luxury item in the economy for most families.  A five dollar a gallon price for diesel fuel is passed on to consumers contrary to what the Biden Administration and the state run media wants us to believe.  We see a massive trickle down effect in our economy from this horrific energy policy.  Nor do wee see any reasonable and or rational policy to get people back to work and help to alleviate the massive supply chain issues the economy faces which also contributes to the runaway inflation our economy has today. 

The Democrat Party has a big problem.  It is what is known as runaway inflation.  It is their manufactured crisis that could have been completely avoided by much more economically coherent governing and actions.  Instead it has shown the American Taxpayer its economic illiteracy through economic actions that are meant to damage the American economy and hurt its citizens.  For what reason is beyond me other than it wants America to see in full spectacle the horrors of a command, Socialistic economy and society that has never worked in the history of the world and is not working today for the Socialists and Communists who control today the Democrat Party of America.  A party of complete ineptness and corruption that is trying to portray itself as the cure-all to their manufactured failures of so many years now.  Mr. Biden, his Administration and the Democrat Party have created the economic crisis that we all must try to deal with in May 2022.  And there was no reason whatsoever for this to happen.    At least in 2020 under President Trump who loved his country, who hated the corruption/swamp of Washington D.C., economic prosperity was the norm and the American public was prospering.   American voters in November are not better off than they were two years ago.  They are much worse off than they were in 2020.  This economic policy of failure is what the Democrat Party of the United States is running their campaign based upon.  And it is why they will go down in massive defeat on Election Day.  And it is 1776 all over again. 

The Connecticut Democrat Party's War On The Trucking Industry

 The Connecticut Democrat Party has declared war on the Trucking industry.  The war will help create more inflation for Connecticut Taxpayers in the future as the cost to deliver goods and services will skyrocket in the state.  Why are they picking on truckers who day in and day out deliver essential items to our state economy without ego nor fanfare?  Why are they so bad?

For those who have forgotten Connecticut Democrat Party HB6688 law of June 2021 becomes effective in 2023 that creates a Highway Use Fee  or truck tax of .025 to .175 cents per mile driven for all trucks in Connecticut and all for all trucks that pass through the state.  This cash grab by the Connecticut Democrat Party was signed into law by Ned Lamont as a way to fund highway/road repairs, etc. in the state.  We all know this tax will somehow find its way into the catch all general fund and be used for things other than transportation.  Who will pay this tax?  Connecticut taxpayers of course.  How do goods get delivered to businesses, stores and homes in the state?  Do the members of the state legislature deliver them by their personal cars?  Or is it by trucks? Where do all the taxes that are paid for by the trucking industry currently go?  Is it salaries, benefits and pensions of state unionized employees?  

Another new horrific law for the trucking industry is for California based implemented emissions laws to become effective with Democrat Party sponsored House Bill 5039 that according to the bill: 

"The bill authorizes the Department of Energy and Environmental
Protection (DEEP) to adopt regulations implementing California’s
medium- and heavy-duty motor vehicle standards and requires the
agency to amend these regulations whenever the California standards
change."

According to the CBIA (Connecticut Business Industry Association) (cbia.com) "California-compliant engines, which HB 5039 allows, could add $57,000 to Connecticut vehicle costs, based on estimates from the Engine Manufacturing Association."  Since when does Connecticut follow California rules and for what reason? Is Connecticut now part of California?  Who is going to pay the costs of these new vehicles?  Why would any trucking company want to do business in the state with this law?  What is the purpose of the new law, is it to satisfy California?  I am going to assume that the complete destruction of Connecticut's economy is the goal of the Connecticut Democrat Party which has apparently ceded control of the state to the California Democrat Party.

It is truly a shame how clueless the Connecticut Democrat Party led by Ned Lamont has become in their quest for a socialist/totalitarian form of government and total control over all Connecticut Businesses and Taxpayers.  The logic behind making trucking cost prohibitive in the state defies economic logic and common sense especially during the Democrat Party created runaway inflation that is happening today.  What is to be gained by forcing the trucking industry to incur these addition costs to benefit a California emissions law?  How is this legal?  The narrative never changes with the Connecticut Democrat Party.  They rule with an iron hand and lies.  Sadly all consumers in the state will pay greatly for these economically irrational laws that will help keep Connecticut last and or near last in all economic categories along with having the highest taxes in the country.  And again this is the platform they are running for re-election on in November.  And this is the platform that they are going down to defeat on election day.  Truckers have had enough.  Connecticut Taxpayers have had enough. It is 1776 again.

 

Maybe The Connecticut Democrat Party Is The Wrong Gender?

 It took me a while but I finally figured it out.  The reason why Connecticut has so many economic and domestic problems is that apparently most Connecticut Democrat Party elected officials are the wrong gender.  They were not given the opportunity when they were five or six years old as Connecticut children are today to change their gender without their parents permission.  If they were not legally aborted before they were born at full term by liberal abortion laws that do not protect the rights of the unborn-they must be the wrong sex.  After all we are supposed to understand and believe that boys should be girls and girls should be boys especially at age five years old as dictated by politically correct sex education for children.  Correct?  Connecticut could be leading the nation in all categories economically and socially if  for example Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal was a woman instead of a man while Democrat/Communist United States Representative Rosa DeLauro was a man not a woman.  Connecticut could be leading the nation in all categories economically and socially if Geography expert United States Senator Chris Murphy was a woman instead of a man.  The same with Democrat Governor Ned Lamont. If he was a woman would his family's hedge fund made so many profits during his manufactured Covid-19 crisis?  I wonder?  It is such a simple solution to such a complex problem.

I can see Connecticut as a Utopia of all things great if all of our Democrat elected officials would have been the opposite sex than what they are now.  It is the same theory that they are trying to teach our children in public schools as to why they are apparently the wrong sex and why two plus two does equal five due to the incomprehensible and blatant racism that exists in mathematics in 2022.  It is the cure all for all of the same problems that have been created by the Democrat Party in America. Yet these solutions such as sex changes, laws abiding citizens being criminals and criminals being law abiding citizens somehow is making the state a cesspool of corruption, suicides, drug overdoses and crime.  Yet it all could have been alleviated if the genders of these officials were changed many years ago.  Am I right or am I wrong? 

Stupidity in government seems to be the norm in 2022.  It is simple to assume this. Lies seem to be truth and truth are now lies.  Two sexes male and female somehow do not fit the Democrat Party narrative as down is up and up is down.  Nothing really fits the Democrat Party narrative other than lies, lies, and more lies.  And the voters of Connecticut are somehow supposed to accept this narrative and the brain washing of their children with these false pretenses and deception.   This again is the agenda and platform that the Democrat Party is running on in 2022.  And it is the agenda and platform that they will be losing badly on come Election Day in 2022.  They still do not understand that it is 1776 again.  Voters have had enough of this garbage.

How High Taxes Ruined Connecticut's Economy

At some point Taxpayers run out of money.  At some point Taxpayers say no to new and higher taxes.  At some point Taxpayers vote with their wallets and pocketbooks rather than on false promises.  Especially false promises about lower taxes and or cuts in taxes.  Notice how there never seems to be discussions on the elimination of a tax or taxes.  Only a cut here and a cut there.  And only in an election year.

As we know Connecticut has an election coming up and there is a great discussion and movement towards cutting taxes.  Almost an urgency.  The Connecticut Taxpayer was thrown roughly a $3 dollar a week tax cut with the suspension of a twenty five cents per gallon gas tax for a few months.  Gasoline is still roughly double what is was before Democrat President Biden and his anti-American energy policies became effective.  Thus $3 a week really does not do much for Connecticut Taxpayers in the current economic debacle they are experiencing of Democrat induced runaway inflation.  And since the implementation of the Connecticut State Income Tax in 1991 new and continually increasing state taxes along with excessively high property taxes have helped to ruin the state economy to almost the point of no return.  The Connecticut State Income Tax along with the Connecticut State Budget has increased dramatically over the past 30 years.  Connecticut's short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities have grown to roughly $150 billion dollars which partially represents a $62500 plus per Taxpayer debt tax if a tax was passed to try to pay this off.  Connecticut ranks last and or near last in most business friendly categories along with one of the highest taxed states in the country.  This situation has been developing since the implementation in 1991 of the Connecticut State Income Tax along with many new and higher taxes such as the secret gross earnings tax on gasoline, the Family Leave state income tax and sales taxes on mostly everything and anything in the state.  Also much higher business taxes have helped to make many state businesses move out of Connecticut for good never to return and or to create essential jobs for the state.  Thus Connecticut's State Government has to pick winners and losers to entice new businesses to move in and create short term jobs that usually end rather quickly when Connecticut Taxpayers subsidies end or when the new companies go broke trying to operate in the state.  

High taxes have ruined Connecticut's economy in my opinion.  Tax upon tax that has been embraced by the years of Connecticut Democrat Party rule have helped many citizens and businesses to make a clear decision to move out of the state never to return.  High taxes have helped to nurture Connecticut's state labor unions with well above normal salaries wages and benefits for years now.  Look at the staggering new costs of the upcoming contract that will be briefly discussed in a for show only public hearing this coming Monday. And we know this agreement will pass with no with no questions asked.   Connecticut Taxpayers will be responsible for an additional $500 million dollars per year in additional state labor costs.  Who pays for this and where does the money come from other than from the remaining Connecticut Taxpayers in the state.  And what will Connecticut Taxpayers get in return?  More stale bureaucracy along with an inefficient bloated state government that is completely inept at resolving problems in the state.  Nothing will change.  And you can count on new and higher taxes to pay for it.  Why?  We can determine that for the past 30 years high taxes have help to strip Connecticut of its economic vibrancy and we see Connecticut a bottom feeder in all economic categories.  So why can't something different be offered to Connecticut Taxpayers except the failures of higher state spending with higher taxes?  For example massive cuts in state spending along with cuts in taxes across the board. 

This is again the record that Ned Lamont and his Connecticut Democrat Party is running for re election on in 2022.  Listening to Ned Lamont and his Connecticut Democrat Part speak of the state economy one wonders what drugs they are on since it does not sound like Connecticut in 2022. A state with a poor economy coupled with a corrupted government.  This is the record that they will lose on in 2022. And it is 1776 all over again.

Connecticut Democrats Spend Ad Infinitum. 30 Years=345%?

 The Connecticut Democrat Party just loves to spend.  And spend and spend and spend and spend.  And spend ad infinitum (ad infinitum is a Latin phrase meaning to infinity).  If one has been following Connecticut's spending crisis since the implementation in 1991 of the economic cure all the Connecticut State Income Tax we can see that spending has increased a mere 345% over this time frame from roughly $7 billion dollars to now $24.2 billion dollars for the state's biennial budget.  I wonder how many Connecticut Taxpayers besides those who are politically connected have seen their salaries increase by this amount?  If over 30 years you were lucky to get a 1 1/2% raise each year then your pay increased by 45% over the same time frame.  So why did Connecticut's spending have to increase by 345%?  Is Connecticut a special state case where an increase by 345% in state spending is only earmarked for the Democrat Party politically connected such as the state labor unions?  Does this increase of 345% provide you with more efficient state services in the state?  Does this increase of 345% provide you with greater security and police protection so that your car does not get stolen and or you have no risk of being murdered in one of the state's Democrat Party controlled cities?  Does this increase of 345% provide you with lower taxes or instead are the taxes that you pay help rank Connecticut as one of the highest taxed states in the country?  Does this increase of 345% provide you with security for your business as seen by the horrific state mandated Covid-19 lock downs that bankrupted many businesses in the state? Does this increase of 345% provide you with a balanced budget and without the current $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities the state owes?  Does this increase of 345% provide you with a sense of shared sacrifice by the Democrat Party politically connected such as the state labor unions?

To state that it is amazing that a state as small as Connecticut spends this much money is an understatement to say the least.  In trying to analyze the current budget (which is exceptionally difficult to do since our state government wishes to keep Connecticut Taxpayers in the dark) depending on the accounting process used salaries, benefits, pensions and interest on the debt in my opinion account for almost half of what the state spends.  And over the past 30 years some items have been taken off budget to reduce the budget deficit and seem to be lost forever.  Again why does Connecticut spend this much money and gets so little in return?  We continue to see the fiscal mismanagement and corruption of 30 years of omnipotent one party rule by the Connecticut Democrat Party which has led the state to the brink of fiscal ruin.  Who wants to start a business in the state with these kinds of economic conditions?  Who wants to move to Connecticut besides the overtaxed residents of New York or New Jersey?  Why do Connecticut Taxpayers spend so much and get so little in return? 

Yet this is the wonderful and supposedly economically efficient record that Ned Lamont, his family's hedge fund and the rest of the Connecticut Democrat Party is running for re election on in 2022.  And this is the record that they will lose on in 2022.  A poor socialistic corrupted type government that has been nurtured by both the state run media and the Democrats is crumbling in front of their eyes and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it in time to savage the election.  They have already lost badly in the eyes of most Connecticut Taxpayers.  It is over before it starts.  And it is 1776 all over again.

2022:The Lies Of The Democrat Party

 Why do politicians lie?  In my opinion politicians must advance his or her own agenda no matter what the cost and as such the fabrication of truth becomes the norm.  We are seeing it in 2022 at the state and federal levels of government by the corrupted Democrat Party.  Lies and more lies seem to be their mantra for the upcoming election.  It is the record they are running on in 2022.

On a federal level the lies being spewed by the Biden Administration should scare most citizens of our country.  There have been lies about the sheer volume of illegal immigrants who have crossed unchecked through the Mexican border and have brought to us more disease, illegal drugs and sickening human trafficking issues.  There have been lies about the amount of American lives lost and the billions of dollars wasted in military equipment and technology from the horrific Biden led withdrawal from Afghanistan.  There have been lies about the Hunter Biden laptop and his corrupted deals blessed by the President with foreign enemies of our democracy.  There have been lies about a new ultra liberal Democrat appointed Supreme Court Justice who lacks the knowledge of how to define a women since she is not a biologist-how she is a judge in America today is beyond comprehension and logic. There have been lies about the runaway inflation that our country is facing today. There have been lies about the new energy crisis in the name of green energy at all costs while the United States had a few years ago had stable energy prices and energy independence due to the Keystone Pipeline. There have been lies about the Russian and Ukraine war and the lack of help towards Ukraine. There have been lies that United States Senator Richard Blumenthal has spread trying to cover up his close ties with the Communist Party of America.  There have been lies about the mental state and health of our feeble and incoherent President Biden.  Lies and more lies seem to be their mantra for the upcoming election.

 On a state level Governor Ned Lamont seems to be trapped in one constant lie about the government manufactured Covid-19 crisis  and his family's hedge fund profits from it.  There have been lies about the how and why defenseless Connecticut citizens were trapped in death camps at nursing homes and rehabilitation centers during the government manufactured Covid-19 crisis.  There have been lies about the state's economy which still ranks last and or near last in many business development and friendliness categories.  There have been lies about the excessive taxes that Connecticut still has ranking the state in the Top 5 highest taxed states in the country.  There have been lies about the $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities Connecticut has going into 2022.  There have been lies about the why the Connecticut Democrat Party wants to see your personal and business tax returns.  There have been lies about the how your vote will no longer count in the state with new legislation being demanded by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  There have been lies about the no bid state Covid-19 contracts that were paid for but with no ability to prove that the items were delivered.  There have been lies about your personal information being data mined by companies blessed by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  There have been lies about the sheer amount of corruption that exists in Connecticut's state government and its elected officials.   Lies and more lies seem to be their mantra for the upcoming election.

It seems to me that the Democrat Party on a national level and the Connecticut Democrat Party love to lie to Taxpayers.  It seems to me that the Democrat Party on a national level and the Connecticut Democrat Party love seeing Taxpayers struggle and love keeping them in perpetual servitude to their corrupted government they run.   It seems to me that we have a massive disconnect in both our federal and state government as far as social and economic reality is concerned.  It seems to me that Taxpayers at all levels of government are sick of these totally inept and uneducated people who claim to be the experts on anything and everything who continue to profit off our Taxpayer funded government.  

This is all coming to an end for the Democrat Party due to the upcoming election in November.  This is all going to end badly for the stoic and incapable to lead Democrat Party as their losses will be enormous throughout the state and country.  The lies will stop once and for all. In reality Taxation Without Representation is coming to an end.  It is 1776 again. 

The Connecticut Democrat Party Wants Your Tax Return-Is That Really Legal? See Senate Bill 443

The ultimate prize for the Connecticut Democrat Party is access to your personal tax return.  Just look at Senate Bill 443 - An Act Concerning The Tax Incidence Report, Tax Incidence Analyses, and the Disclosure of Returns and Return Information.  This 1984 Orwellian Socialist type bill was sponsored by Democrat/Socialists State Representatives Josh Elliott-Hamden, Kate Farrar-West Hartford and Michael Winkler-Vernon.  This bill would allow the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services Commissioner to allow Connecticut's Legislative leadership to view personal tax returns under the charade of “for purposes of evaluating and formulating tax policy.” (quoted from bill itself) What tax policy are they evaluating and or formulating?  Has Connecticut become such a socialistic and totalitarian state that your information can be stolen by state officials in the guise of seeing if somehow you paid enough taxes?  Are they going to allow Connecticut Taxpayers to view all Connecticut elected officials such as Ned Lamont, Richard Blumenthal, Rosa DeLauro and other tax returns by writing to the state? 

The over reach in this bill astounds me nor can I see how it legal?  Does the legal team of the Connecticut  Democrat Party realize that this proposed law is against the law?  It is in direct criminal violation of IRC Sec.6103(d)(1) and therefore subject to penalties and fines in accordance with IRC Section 7213 (a) (2).   I am also confused as to why they need private citizens tax returns to formulate tax policies?  The current Connecticut Democrat Party tax policies have helped to push Connecticut to the brink of economic oblivion under the lies of fairness and equity.  The same fairness and equity that apparently can only be viewed when looking at Connecticut Taxpayers returns.  Where is the equity and fairness in not being to view Governor Ned Lamont's tax returns especially when looking at his family's hedge fund investments?  Or why does multi-millionaire United States Senator Richard Blumenthal pay so little in income tax?

Senate Bill 443 somehow makes Connecticut's economic problems go away with even higher personal income taxes to allow for the Connecticut Democrat Party to buy its votes and allow the never ending political corruption to be nurtured and promoted in the state. This brazen theft of personal freedoms by the political viewing of your personal income tax returns is the ultimate power grab and shows the complete disregard for the Connecticut Taxpayer under the lies of fairness and equity.  Where is the fairness and equity for the Connecticut Taxpayer who lives in a politically contaminated state that allows state officials the ability to falsify truth for their political power and gain?  With all this fairness and equity with Connecticut Democrat Party formulated tax policies why does Connecticut have $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities?  With all this fairness and equity with Connecticut Democrat Party formulated tax policies why does Connecticut rank near first in the highest taxes in the country along being near last in most business and economic categories in the country? 

 A politically corrupted Connecticut state government that now wants to see your personal tax returns is absurd but yet Connecticut Taxpayers have still another  new fight with this bill blessed by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  The fight will continue against these ruthless politicians who embrace Taxation without Representation along with a stoic political nepotism that is a cancer within the state ruing the state day in and day out.  Connecticut again will see massive changes in November with a new government being legitimately voted in and not fraudulently stolen with dead people voting over and over again for the failed Connecticut Democrat Party.   It is 1776 again.

 

More Bad News For Connecticut Taxpayers With The Secret SEBAC Agreement. More And Higher State Spending.

You can never underestimate the political power of the Connecticut Democrat Party nor their hatred of the non state employee/non political donor Connecticut Taxpayer.  More information is coming out about the secret SEBAC state agreement with its labor unions.  An agreement that Connecticut Taxpayers will pay for and have absolutely no representation in as to how their tax monies will be spent for years to come.  It is the classic political nepotism that we have seen for 30 plus years now in the state that has helped to contribute to Connecticut's economic ongoing depression.

According the Yankee Institute for Public Policy (www.yankeeinstitute.org.) who has been able to through media findings and leaks have been able to summarize this massive pay increase for state workers.  What I find interesting is that the state unions feel that they have saved $24 billion dollars for the state since 2010.   I can not see that.  Where is the actual proof? This contract is a huge expense for Connecticut Taxpayers and should be treated as such.  One must remember we are in a period of runaway Democrat Party induced inflation coupled with excessively high taxes in the state.  The Connecticut taxpayer never gets a break with regards to any cuts in spending nor cuts in taxes even in stoic election years.  And really why should they since they are the true slaves of state government by paying these excessive pay raises and bonuses to state workers while in many cases doing without so they can pay the enormous tax burden of Connecticut.  This agreement needs to be made public immediately and should be open to public hearings.  If I am interpreting the agreement correctly most of the state surplus will go to pay for this contract and raises/bonuses. The long term costs of the contract will cost Connecticut Taxpayers hundred of millions of dollars over the lifetime of the contract.

Salaries and benefits account for well over 35% of Connecticut's $24.2 billion dollar state budget or roughly $8.2 billion dollars.  An immediate question one must ask is why in a state such as Connecticut that is small and is losing population daily why does the state spend so much in the first place and why does well over 1/3 of the budget goes to state employee salaries and benefits. With all this money being spent why does Connecticut rank near first in the highest taxes in the country along being near last in most business and economic categories in the country?  The question that voters and taxpayers must ask during this upcoming election is why is Connecticut so badly run?  And who has been in power for the past 30 years?  Why isn't spending being cut in 2022?

 Fortunately for America and in particular Connecticut, the Connecticut Democrat Party will be voted out of office at all levels of government in November, 2022.  The incompetence and corruption that is the keyword of the Connecticut Democrat Party is on full display with this secret labor agreement.  The working middle class has taken the brunt end of runaway inflation and they will vote with their wallets and pocketbooks. A non functioning Connecticut state government that is only interested in a small part of the state's population are the enablers of the corrupted Connecticut Democrat Party rule.  They rule the state with an iron fist. This contract and its provisions further separates the haves and the have nots in Connecticut. The tidal wave of change is beginning and will encompass the overhaul of our corrupted government and political system. Connecticut will see massive changes in November.   It is 1776 again.

Hey What's Another $3500. To Connecticut Taxpayers? It Is An Election Year Isn't It?

 Hey what's another $3500 to Connecticut Taxpayers or a 2% raise each year for the next four years with job security and no lay-offs for 44,000 state unionized employees?  Hey what's $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities to Connecticut Taxpayers?  Hey what's a $62500 per person state debt tax to Connecticut Taxpayers? Hey what's another $150 million dollars in state labor costs for Connecticut Taxpayers?  It is an election year isn't it?  And what better way for the Connecticut Democrat Party to maintain omnipotent one party rule and continue to destroy Connecticut's economy but to buy state government workers votes through this incredibly generous and bloated pay raise package that has been negotiated and blessed by multimillionaire Governor/Hedge Fund Owner Ned Lamont.  After all look how many state workers lost their jobs during the manufactured Covid-19 crisis?  Oh I forgot none.  After all look at how many  Connecticut businesses were forced to shut down and went bankrupt and or out of business during the manufactured Covid-19 crisis?  Thousands?  And lets not forget how many Connecticut Taxpayers lost their jobs and declared personal bankruptcy during the the manufactured Covid-19 crisis?  Thousands?  

Why can't the terms of this contract being public knowledge today?  Why is it secret?  What is being hidden to Connecticut Taxpayers?

And what will Connecticut Taxpayers get for these above average pay raises for 44,000 Connecticut government workers?  The state is still last or near last in most business categories with a constant anti business atmosphere of excessive rules, regulations, laws  and excessively high taxes.  Will these raises end the horrific conditions that Connecticut businesses must operate in with these same excessive rules, regulations, laws and excessively high taxes somehow being changed and somehow making the state more business friendly?  Will state government actually be responsive to the corruption and fraud that takes place on a daily basis in this same state government if they get these raises?  What will change if state government workers get these raises?  Does it mean that Connecticut Taxpayers must dig deeper to pay higher state taxes to support these same state workers especially when they retire with well above average state funded pensions and benefits?  Does it mean that Connecticut Taxpayers $62500 per person state debt tax will go up even higher since multimillionaire Governor/Hedge Fund Owner Ned Lamont wishes to bond over $1.4 billion dollars in new political pet projects over the next few years to help his political allies in Hartford?  Isn't the sky the limit when it comes to Connecticut Democrat Party's total disregard and disrespect for the Connecticut Taxpayer?  This salary raise package certainly leads one to believe that the Connecticut Taxpayer is garbage and the Connecticut State Employee and its unions can and will never do any wrong.  They have no incentives to show greater efficiencies or be customer friendly to the same Connecticut Taxpayers they serve.  What a farce.

Thus it is more of the same for the Connecticut Taxpayer.  Keep doing without especially with runaway Democrat Party induced inflation with obscene energy and food prices.  Keep doing without so that a small minority of Connecticut's population can keep enriching themselves and their power over the peon taxpayers of the state who are forced to serve them.  Shared sacrifice does not exist in Connecticut's government and has not existed for years now.  It is pathetic to see the years of inept Democrat Party rule bringing about now a total sense of hopelessness for the remaining Connecticut Taxpayers who are forced to pay for this theft of public resources.  

It seems to be a fact that state union labor agreements are one sided.  Connecticut Taxpayers have no say whatsoever in how their taxes are spent.  Nor will they ever will given the dictatorship that Connecticut has evolved into over the past 30 years.  What was once was a state of economic opportunity and growth is now a ghetto of failed economics, political corruption and a total insolence for the Connecticut Taxpayer.  And yes once again this is the record that the Connecticut Democrat Party is running for re election on in November.  And finally this is the record that they will lose by a landslide on Election Day 2022.  And yes it is 1776 again.  Free Connecticut.

Maybe The Democrat Party Remembers Stable Prices-No Inflation? Energy Independence? Freedom In Europe?

 Remember when the United States was a strong country back in 2017 to 2020?  Remember when the United States was energy independent in 2019 and 2020?  Remember when there was little to no inflation in our country from 2017 to 2020?  Remember when shelves in grocery stores were full back in 2017 to parts of 2020?   Remember how most of our country and world were going to die from Covid-19 from 2020 right up to a few weeks ago if we did not wear masks, stay six feet apart, and or avoid contact with other human beings?  Remember when there were a bunch of peace treaties signed in the Middle East back a few years ago?  Remember Afghanistan and all of the American soldiers who died there?  Remember all of the American allies still stuck in Afghanistan in 2022?  Remember when the Ukraine was a free country?  Remember how the media force fed us daily the bad news of former President Trump and his bad tweets/speeches/policies/decisions/economy/ on a daily basis from 2017 to 2020?  I do and you probably do also.

Now think about how bad the crisis is in the Ukraine with Russia.  Now think about the possibility of nuclear war in 2022. Now think about how fragile freedom is in many Eastern European countries today due to the murderous Russian regime ready to invade at any minute.  Now think about how bad it is that we are supporting Russia by buying their oil rather than being energy independent.  Now think about how bad energy prices have increased and how much gas, heating oil and natural gas is actually costing you.  Now think about all the shortages you are seeing in the stores with food products.  Now think about how bad inflation is overall and how much less money you have in 2022. Now think about how bad the lies of Covid-19 have been and how much in profits Ned Lamont's family hedge fund have made in it.  Now think about all of the elderly who died needlessly in Connecticut trapped in nursing homes from Covid-19.  I think about this daily and you probably do also.

A lot has changed under Democrat Party leadership (if you call it that) in 2022.  A lot has changed with a failed and frail Joe Biden being a puppet President that is dragged around by his nose by the Socialist/Communists who run the Democrat Party in 2022.  The same Socialist/Communists who run the Democrat Party who also hate freedom, free people, freedom of thought, the free enterprise system, and  stable prices.  The same Socialist/Communists who run the Democrat Party who embrace unchecked illegal immigration, child trafficking, the free flow of illegal drugs and illegal drug use/deaths,  runaway inflation and unchecked crime/career criminals free to roam anywhere and everywhere in 2022.  This is the reality of 2022 with the Socialist/Communists who run the Democrat Party.  This is the record that these same Socialist/Communists who run the Democrat Party are running for re election on in 2022.

It is not the Connecticut nor America you and or anyone else wants in 2022.  So why are we accepting it?  Most of us aren't accepting these lies contrary to what the state run media wants us to believe.  This to me seems to be the beginnings of the seeds of economic, social and political disconnect being sown and nurtured against the Socialist/Communists who run the Democrat Party in 2022.  The battle for the state and America is being fought daily.  And I am confident that the tremendous losses in power and policy that the Democrat Party will endure in the election of 2022 after their massive defeats on Election Day will put an end once and for all for to their brand of dictatorship that we as a country have always hated since the 1770's.  Are we back to 1776?  I wonder.  If we are it is the way it is supposed to be.  Free America from the Democrat Party.
