Consistent Inconsistancies

If you are lucky enough to be a Connecticut taxpayer, you and I share a nearly $4,000.00 debt each along with all of our other fellow taxpayers. We are grateful to have this sum owed because of the consistent fiscal practices of our incumbent politicians that are grossly lacking economic responsibility.

There is a never ending quest to point fingers and lay blame by both the Democrats and Republicans alike, each respectively blaming their opponent for the financial demise we all currently face. If one truly desires to look at the root cause of this fiscal irresponsibility, one only needs to ascend to the following facts:

1. There is a $3+ billion dollar deficit, not because Connecticut has under taxed it's residents, but rather because it has over spent beyond it's means.
2. The liberal Democratic and fractured Republican Parties have persuaded the majority of Connecticut Residents that someone else is paying for the financial misgivings of these incumbents and the cost of the entitlements they give.
   
3. All of the problems our State faces can not be solved by throwing tax revenue at them.
4. State Entitlement Programs are not a means of achieving social goals or classes in our society.
   

The benefit of each and every Connecticut taxpayer to be able to contribute to the support and maintenance of its government with the most minimal intrusion on one's own economic status has been grossly usurped by the fiscal irresponsibility of our elected leaders.

The tax and spend liberal philosophy adopted by Gov. Rell, the Democratic Super majority and failed Connecticut Republican Party is an inadequate solution to a larger and more compound problem. While both parties continue to live in a world of pipe dreams and living outside of our means, we the people are continually burdened with an illogical sense of not so well being that has turned Connecticut near the brink of financial ruin.

In order for Connecticut to return to the great New England State it once was, the changing of the guard this year needs to replace each and every incumbent with fresh blood. Connecticut's elected leaders must learn the fundamental fact that you can not tax your way into prosperity, but through fiscal responsibility, you can however earn your way out of the stagnation of certain poverty by living within your means, something of course that is a Consistent Inconsistency in Hartford.
