Whatever happened to the days when an ordinary citizen can start off from scratch and make a decent living out of their own business??

State and Federal Governments better get their acts together before they turn the United States into a Third-World country.; April 4, 2010 at 5:07 PM

The middle class was basically created less than 100 years ago and tragically, Washington and Hartford are killing it under the banner of fairness.

Maybe they should talk to some business owners here in Connecticut and others in right to work states like Texas where there is absolutely no state income taxes and no business taxes of any kind, and then compare the two?; April 5, 2010 at 6:11 PM

Connecticut grabs $7,007 in state and local taxes per man, woman and child resident, according to the Tax Foundation, more per capita than every state but New York and New Jersey. That's hardly the company any state would want to keep these days, but the politicians in Hartford seem intent on following Trenton and Albany off the tax-and-spend cliff. This week Republican Governor Jodi Rell proposed a $1-billion-plus income tax hike, raising the top tax rate to 6.5% from 5% on individuals with incomes above $500,000 and couples with earnings above $1 million to close an expected two-year $8.5 billion budget deficit. The tax hike would be retroactive to January 1, meaning the government would snatch money that residents have already earned................
