In the drop down box that says "select your state", if you pick CT, you can see my state's tax rank (1 is highest). Since 1995, CT's tax rank has always been in the top 3. As high as those tax rates are, it's not NEARLY enough to pay for what the unions demanded, as we have massive unfunded liabilities for healthcare and retirement benefits to public employees.
Seems to me that if we have high tax rates, and still not nearly enough to pay for those benefits, that the benefits must have been very rich indeed. Please tell me where I'm wrong?
