My solution to this problem is simple...but would NEVER be implemented.

First, no American citizen would have any direct tax responsibility to the federal government. Each state would pay a per capita tax to the feds. (This would eliminate the IRS, but that would only be a side benefit.) The states themselves would be powerful enough en masse to tell the feds that we don't want to pay for a subway system for Los Angeles, or whatever other idiotic ideas come from Washington. Each of us would have our tax responsibility to our state...and the states could do it with income tax, sales tax, whatever. This would put the states in competition with each other for us. People, and by extension money, would flow to the states that were most tax efficient and the big spenders would starve. You know...like it should be.

The biggest problem with all those moves is that those people and companies bring the Blue Disease with them. The company moves because of high taxes, then they want gimme's from the state they are moving to. The people move with the company and then vote for the policies that they left in CT or wherever.

I think someone once addressed the politburo of The PRC and warned them, "Say good-bye to your tax base."

Slip the Nutmeg Curtain while you can.

The problem is not only Connecticut's. California is the same on steroids. The people running these states are either stupid or insane or both.

I checked and I was surprised to see Pennsylvania is a balanced State. We have one of the most expensive legislators in the country. Makes me realize how bad things must be in Connecticut.

CT politicians appear to be exceptional poverty managers

And what's further is that Youtube groups that video in amongst all the old news reports, many false, of the Brown killing in Ferguson.

It is time to get out of CT, NMA. Follow Eudamonia's lead.

Most of my fellow Nutmeggers are insane!

When your ideology "thinks" that bottom up economic is the way to go, this is the result.

Lets see how the poor deal with no tax based from the upper middle class and up when they are not there to foot the bill for their programs.

Bill Maher who I have no respect for said it well.

Its ridiculous.

Yay!
Companies are moving to the South where I live.
Hey, but I notice Alabama wasn't mentioned where I live specifically.
Oh, yeah! My second term GOP governor has turned RINO and is trying to raise taxes here without reducing spending.
Boo!.

Detroit is the poster City of Democrat run Gov't. One does not need to be a brainiac to understand what happens in those Cities just observant.

This is exactly the plan - to have as many businesses leave as possible. Cloward and Piven. I bet the lefties were patting themselves on the back while he spoke.

Wow! That is so telling.
