I have yet to see how raising any tax on individuals and businesses yields jobs and improves the standard of living. CT does not have a revenue problem it has a spending problem and anything less than meaningful measurable cuts is just playing lip service to a problem that has never been properly addressesed by CT Legislators. It’s businesses that generate jobs, NOT GOVERNMENT, so CT should encourage investment by the private sector but instead they discourage them through taxation and, even worst, drives them right out of the state. For example, take the Yacht industry, which Malloy blindly characterizes as a luxury item that the wealthy can afford. Who does he think works on building these luxury boats, the wealthy owners? Of course not, it’s the working class, who will now be laid off because of a bad policy that will be enacted- good going Malloy!
