Reply to comment by 2SLGBTQIA in Report: Taxing the rich won't make them leave CT by ctkyle
Ct ain't the best for business, but it makes up for it in several ways. I don't think we should become slaves that bow to the wishes of corporations. And a lot of those mention that it's headquarters that are leaving, which isn't a lot of jobs. Manufacturing jobs don't appear to be leaving from what your articles are saying. And there's lots of growth in small businesses in the state. If we want to thrive we be trying to bring in green tech businesses (cause they are booming), and other high education jobs, which offer high wages.
But corporate headquarters, not overly concerned since a lot of them like to go to nyc, but live in ct.

I was doing pretty good on 60k in Vernon, so I imagine yes. But then again my rent was only 895 a month

There's a surplus they can use, hundreds of thousands isn't much for gov, and, and this is the important thing, the amount that this will generate cannot be ignored.

Watch the clip, he bought millions of dollars of debt for couple hundred thousand. And honestly I don't mind tax dollars doing that for low and middle income people. Money only ever goes up, and this debt relief will help millions of households and even allow people to start businesses if they wish.

Not exactly. The debt is often sold off immediately to another company for pennies the original cost. You, as the new owner of the debt, can either collect it or forgive it.
John Oliver did exactly this year's ago.

Eminent domain is the forced purchase of land. So by definition you should be paying less property tax.

I worked in a dog kennel for 5 years. I was bitten several times, worst was trying to break up a fight between a nerotic husky and another husky, unexpected was by a sociopathic mutt. Never once bitten by a pit bull.

Pretty much. We find our police through taxes; other states find out through tickets, so they're inclined to give out more tickets, even for petty shit. Our cops aren't.

Ngl I'm kinda surprised egg prices are so high. There's like 4 people I know who have their own chicken coups and I see several in the side of the road all the time selling eggs dirt cheap.

Most places are like that though aren't they? They're all focused on money. But I think up here we use taxes to artificially up the cost so greener methods are cheaper
