Does it matter how you say it ?

MyIn Connecticut, Governor Lamont gave his budget speech today. As predicted, you can say the state made love to you, screwed you, f&#$@d you or anyway you want to call it, it's going to cost you.
The hero said he's not raising the sales tax but there's a long list of things he wants to tax that weren't before. Things like haircuts, Netflix , legal services, dry cleaning and other services, are on that list. He's not going to raise the income tax but said smaller towns with smaller numbers of students will get less funds so that more funds will go to bigger cities with more students. Translation, your town property taxes will increase if you live in a small suburban town but not if you live in an urban city. Also, towns that pay their teachers a little better will have to pay more money into the teachers retirement fund. The only tax he wants to eliminate is the business entity tax. Whoopie, if you own a business you will save $250. Per year. But he wants the $15./ hr minimum wage, paid time off and other crippling charges for small businesses. Then, of course, tolls.  A tiny state like Connecticut will have 80+ toll gantrys. Not just on the interstates, but on every large highway in the state. Basically, if you live in Central CT you can't go to the beach, the New Haven theatres, the casinos or the airport without paying tolls. What does it all mean ?  Bend over and grab your ankles, the democrats are singing their same old, tired song. Just once, we need someone to grow a pair and say their needs to be a revamped welfare system.  CT has some 5th and 6th generation welfare recipients and a huge abuse of food stamps and many other social services. Democrats are afraid to address those issues. After all, that is their  voting base. Hairdressers that survive mainly on tips, will not get bigger tips anymore because of the tax added onto their services. Poorer folks that can barely afford legal services, that can be hundreds of dollars an hour, will have to pay sales tax on it. Connecticut is out to drive everybody out of the state.  I'm glad I moved out.
