As i said before and now I'm wondering if you are doing anything about it other than making sure nobody got anything wrong on the internet?
If the taxes in your state are too high or you feel something is wrong there you can get involved in politics, move or whine about it.
There is one thing you can't do and I understand you can't move.
But you can be involved in our democracy and things might slowly change.
No promises that it will change the way you want but you will have done what you could.
Vermont is close to being in the same place, hopefully more because of a greying population. And so far 2 of my 5 children have moved out of state, not to Connecticut.

I would think all that wealth would trickle down, your answer on recent tax cuts was what's good for the wealthy helps those with lower incomes.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
