Happy Tax Freedom Day!

Ok, Connecticut you get to start working for your family and yourself today. Today is Tax Freedom Day, it’s the day where you’ve finally worked enough to pay all your Federal, State and Local taxes.
We in Connecticut have the honour of working longer than any other state in the Union to pay our fair […]

The Man Who Would Be King

Speaker of the House Jim Amann is retiring to pursue the Governorship. Normally I welcome liberals tilting at windmills but this time less so. His most likely replacement Rep. Chris Donovan of Meriden has a resume that strikes fear in to the hearts of taxpayers through out the land.

Let’s Kill A Growing Industry Providing New Jobs

Not only new jobs but we are a world leader in this new aviation segment. Which to certain Government leaders is just a new opportunity to raise taxes.
I’m talking about the new very light jet market. A number of airframers, Cessna, Piper, Eclipse, Cirrus and many other smaller players are rushing to market […]

Taxpayer Bill Of Rights

With the elections looming it is time to frame the debate.
I’ll be emailing this Bill of Rights to all running for office and asking them to take the pledge, the results will be posted and have a special link on this website. Including all those who did not respond.
Clearly our Government is badly mis-managing our […]

Obama’s Willful Disregard Of The Facts Or Poor Command Of Economics

Manufacturing employment did hit a peak and then begin a steady decline. The problem is that the peak was in 1979, 15 years before NAFTA came into force.

New Jersey tried a Millionaire’s Tax, only problem is they, the Millionaires moved. Funny thing about the well to do, they have the resources to move. They tend not to be tied to a physical locale as wage or salary earners are.
“People picked up and moved,” Jack Meola, a tax attorney and partner […]

Forcing Businesses Out Of State

The insidious thing about a delivery tax is that it just keeps giving or taking. Especially if your supplier or customer is based in Connecticut.
The Delivery Tax penalizes Connecticut based companies from doing business with other Connecticut based companies and will force work out of the state.
Consider the following.
If I buy and order a part, […]

Get Back To Work, More Taxes To Pay

Three states will have to wait until May to celebrate their state-specific Tax Freedom Days: Connecticut, New Jersey and New York. Although they have high state-local taxes too, the main culprit is the progressive federal income tax. States with large metropolitan areas offer higher-paying jobs, and as a result, many of the citizens earn enough […]

It Is The Economy, Stupid

While the Dem candidates are debating 3 AM calls, Americans are feeling less and less comfortable in their own economic skins.
It would be wise for the candidates to focus on “It’s The Economy, Stupid”, people’s comfort level in their economic stratus can explode and within weeks become the dominate issue. I suspect this election […]

Democrats Propose New Tax

Hardly a new headline, but true. From the Hartford Courant
…a legislative proposal to charge an extra 6 percent sales tax on delivery charges for packages sent to homes and businesses.

Kevin Maloney, president of the state’s messenger association, said his industry makes only a 4 percent net profit each year, and so it would definitely pass […]
