This was a little gem I received in my inbox today. As a special aside to Eudaimonia, be glad you're in another state!!

This is just a whole list of industries which already tax their consumer/clients. That the Dems in the CT statehouse have decided that they haven't spent enough of my hard earned money, is just insulting. My state representative sent an email to me informing me of this massive wealth redistribution scheme put forth by the ever voracious Dems. At least she was proactive with alerting constituents. As soon as my children have finished high school, I'm outta here!!

    It's why I voted no to the new budget. I don't see the rationale, considering one of the elementary schools is slated to close its doors in June. We fortunately have some phenomenal teachers at the high school. No indoctrination. Plus my husband and I have of course taught our children about rational thought and logic since day one.

    Just a comment.The line 'as soon as my kids finish school' rang a bell. It's the one all the school boards use to get budgets passed the voters. Somehow the interested voters all have kids in K-12. The real proactive answer would be straight up I'm Out Of Here. Question pops up. Out of here to where? Any one have an answer for that? It would probably have to have recall, initiative and not be anywhere near a major population area.

    Connecticut is the rabbit hole and it gets deeper every year.

    The philosophy of Demoncrats is pragmatic. We'll get the money we want now and worry about what it does later, when later gets here. When later comes around, the solution is still more taxation or avoid the problem by pretending it doesn't exist.

    Non_mooching_artist not sure that I would be willing to wait for the kids to grad unless it was this year that they were graduating.

    Come on down to Texas. While Texas isn't perfect by a long shot it is far better as far as taxes go than most other states.

    Good saying. A theme to remember - and repeat out loud - frequently.

    Honestly, there are only lesser evils, still evils though, in this country at present. No real free market, don't spend what you pay for states exist.

    The only thing that will get this government, State and Fed, to stop the wasted spending and growth is to knock them ALL out of office. Are we brave enough and smart enough to make that happen? Complaining about it gets it more attention, but will it be enough?

    PS Non-mooching_artist - Seriously, where are you going to go?

    As Mark, one of my many ex-brothers-in-laws said (he was one of the founders of Pizza Hut), "Businesses do not pay taxes, they collect taxes from the consumers."

    You missed the MMT memo... taxes not required for government to spend. Taxes are to maintain the value of the currency since that is the only allowed method of paying taxes and to regulate the economy/unemployment/inflation.

    My second term GOP Alabama governor who has always been about increasing jobs has now turned RINO and is all about increasing taxes.

    My favorite scene in Robert Williams' Popeye movie is a tricycle riding tax collector asking for a "fee fee."
    Since then I've waiting for some tin-horn legislator to propose a "tax on a tax."

    what makes you think that you can get away from paying taxes to any government entity, local, state or the feds if you are gainfully employed? they want input from the public; why they are going to raise taxes anyway. that is how government works which you probably know anyway.
