"Haha" might be a better use of onamonopia than "yawnnn"

Its embarrassing, really. And they keep resurrecting these tax Yale bills to boot. Yet they still haven't produced a budget proposal. I guess they are too busy with all this silliness.

I don't disagree with much of what you say, but every time I read your emotional CT-hating posts, nothing to do other than yawn. Literally - thread after thread - you post the same thing, just different verbiage. So, yawn.

State's gonna say "See, we asked the businesses nicely to pay their fair share. They didn't. Bad businesses. "They didn't build that." So we'll now tax them (the rich) to pay for free...."

Of course, middle class ends up paying these taxes. And higher taxes are coming....

You wanted liberalism in CT? You got it.

Pushing aside the hyperbole: CT may ask businesses to pay more taxes

Quote:
How do you raise tax revenue to balance the next state budget when no one wants to order a tax hike? Majority Democrats want Connecticut to invite businesses to pay more taxes — voluntarily — next spring — in exchange for a contractually guaranteed tax break down the road, according to several sources within the House and Senate Democratic caucuses.
1) This isn't even an an official policy yet.
2) It comes with a long term benefit.
3) Most of us are already "lending" the government money then receiving back at tax time.

Economists divide on how deeply state layoffs wound economy


"Peter Gioia, chief economist for the Connecticut Business and Industry Association, said that while this state has added back less than 80 percent of the jobs lost in the last recession, the nation has recovered them all plus an extra 60 percent.


Massachusetts has restored all of its lost jobs plus another 140 percent."

Way more reasonable than the 15 they initially wanted (entry level college grad wage for many fields). Anyone who thinks this is because liberals "care about people" and not a means to collect more taxes is a fool though. Either way, the end result is good for many--12$ shouldn't cause too much of an outcry, and is a nice bump for those with MWJs.
