Yes

and pay their employees more,

No. With insufficient generator capacity, they just pay for more imported power from Quebec.

This is great news for illegal aliens currently residing in Connecticut and contributing to our state economy. The REAL people who are receiving amnesty are all the damn rich people in FFC who pay ZERO taxes. THAT'S amnesty for ya.

Nep the problem with illegal immigration is that not everybody that comes into America is good. The Ellis Island immigrants were different, they wanted to be here, they wanted to succeed here, they wanted to build a life for themselves and their families.

Today's illegal immigrants are MS13 gangmembers, towel head terrorists, drug cartel thugs, they don't want to be here, they don't love America, they come here and attack us with planes, push drugs and violence in our streets, manipulate our social services programs, take our jobs, and bad mouth our country as guests in our home.

I can't say Merry Christmas cause it might be offensive to someone, I can't say the pledge of Alliegence cause the Muslims may find it offensive, I'm tired of apologizing for being an American, a Christian, having American values and patriotic pride, if you don't like it go back to wherever it is you came from.

But Obama said that CRIMINALS would be deported.

Why hasn't he already deported the CRIMINALS that already came here illegally?

He said if you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance.

He said if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.

Good, he should start with himself

Well, in my opinion, Obama deserves a third term.

I honestly can't figure out how my life has benefited from Malloy's tax increases or anyone's tax increases for that matter. But if you can cut my taxes, I certainly know how I'll use the money to increase my utility and happiness. I have plenty of things I could use a few more dollars here and few more dollars there for. I know I could just get a new job that pays more, trying as we speak, but I'm sure many here understand the difficulty in that right now.

Obama is not a president, he ignores the constitution and has no respect for The United States of America. He leads by his own agenda, great leaders are selfless, not selfish.

I stand with the governor. I find it very unfruitful when people actively try to avoid paying taxes or looking for loopholes.

This would also help CT collect $135 million more in tax revenues.

State wants online retailers to collect sales tax

Its impossible to impose an internet sales tax on all 50 states and justify it by claiming that they are trying to collect a sales tax that many are avoiding.

Take New Hampshire as an example. They don't have a state sales tax, people that live there and shop online are not avoiding anything. On the other hand, a lot of people from Massachusetts go to New Hamsphire for their tax-free shopping.

Numerous previous presidents issues MANY more executive orders than Obama ever has. Besides, he needs to do what's right. And everything he does, I agree with, except for a few minute things. The guy deserves a third term.
