Did you not read the header of the graph? It shows a breakdown of state revenues based on tax-related revenue streams. Lamont and the state are obviously doing something right, because we have more money in the coffers than ever before.

Ct commies stay on this tripe. Glad to sell Mt properties for triple price then move south with over a million. These dems made this state unliveable

Yeah, it’s call federal Covid relief money.

Lamont hasn’t done anything meaningful to fix the state’s finances; just got lucky.

Ahhhh yes, our governor and his wife embezzled $700 million of COVID relief funds and our state now has a $1 billion+ surplus because he “got lucky”… got it.

You see, federal Covid relief money goes to the state universities which requires less money to come out of the state’s wallet. Would you like some other fifth grade examples?

I thought much of the COVID relief went to Trump cronies like Empty Greene and her cohorts, in the manner of loans that were forgiven.

That's why his wife made 700M since covid "doing something right"? Wouldn't be because she used her husband's power to get a state contract now would it?

I KNOW you did not claim Lamont and his wife have made $700 million off of state contracts? Like, surely you couldn’t believe that? 😂😭

When they aren't making money off of a virus fhe Chinese gave us, independents do. But jfc have you never looked into It? She made almost a billion off the private corporations she bought bc Lamont gave them the contracts. If thar isn't Rico act qualified for a governor to give contracts to a wife who has business in the south where wages are cheaper, then why was Rico invented for the"mob" that they never killed? The cartels they don't do shit against? Use Rico on them they're gone. All IL say. Defend commy Lamont more I'd be willing to guess your in on his payroll as Rico predicates

Yeah, they're taxing the shit out of us, and you call that "doing something right."

Are they “taxing the shit out of us” as you so eloquently put it, or do you not know how to manage a budget? I’m guessing it’s the latter.

Headed out in the motorhome in a few weeks to go buy another house in a free state, cash ...so, uh...what was that question again?Where are we on the list of most heavily taxed states? You're really that stupid?You idiots crack me up. So thin skinned "ew, don't criticize CT" while generally bitching about everything.I recall 9/11, how the state had a large surplus right before, then suddenly was deep in debt the day after...figures don't lie, but liars figure.
"We" have more money in the coffers...now, that's rich lol.

So you are so burden you can afford to own or rent a motorhome to travel to buy another home and pay cash.

Did you pay any taxes ?

If you were so burden, you couldn't afford to do this, unless mom and dad foot the bill.

It's called living within your means, saving steadily and ensuring ROI on purchases. My son learned as well, smart enough to get "free college" through academic achievement as opposed to whining. That saved a lot. He ended up quitting, joined the USMC, got free college again, first job out paid 6 figures. Bought a house at 26. Had a plan that didn't include being a little bitch. You should try it, or spend your time bitching about everything like most of this group does. Your choice, don't care. Rent a motorhome? Looked into that ROI and inconvenience lead to purchasing instead.

I'm not the one bitchen about being over taxed,who bought two homes and owns a motorhome.

I too owned two homes, sold one, wife and I put 2 kids through college, they support themselves.

You don't see me crying I'm overburden, when our son had to have emergency surgery on his brain, I knew he was in good hands at Yale, or when daughter broke her leg didn't have to worry again good hospitals, when she lost her job, she was able to get insurance through the state until she got back on her feet; ALL THAT is because we have a decent quality of life because of those tax dollars.

Now go beat your chest in your new state.

And yes I'm a Vet!

What whine... mentioned our tax ranking, and combined with the leftist government we have, decided to react. Pretty excited actually, found a few places bordering state/national parks.
