Hey dumb-ass? The thread it titled "Progressive policies continue to negatively impact the U.S." - stupid. It is not titled "the oil spill". Therefore, my last post that you are criticizing here is 100% on subject. Damn are you dumb. You can't follow any thread. You're illiteracy is a real problem.Another perfect example. Not only did the progressive state income tax not balance the budget despite an astounding $126 billion in revenue - but it has made spending explode as the progressives now believe the have a blank check at their disposal...
- In 1991, Connecticut Gov. Lowell Weicker decried the state’s “orgies of spending,” and said his income tax proposal—which would include fiscal discipline—would balance the books.
- Connecticut recently marked the 25th anniversary of the income tax, which has resulted in little to no spending restraint.
- State spending grew 71% faster than inflation from 1991 to 2014 and
- Most of that went toward debt services payments and state employee benefits—which combined grew 174% over the rate of inflation, according to a report by the Yankee Institute for Public Policy, a Connecticut think tank.
What Happened After Blue State Introduced an Income Tax
- “But many states lean on the revenue from an income tax will can discourage labor, drive down wages, and drive business to relocate.”
Since this is your thread, why don't you at least try to stay on subject dumb ass?
