Connecticut Democrats Embrace Malloy-Style Tax Hikes

While Failed Governor Dan Malloy’s disastrous term in office will conclude in 2018, Connecticut Democrats are still embracing the worst of his anti-jobs policies. According to a new report, Democrats want to force new tax hikes on the people of Connecticut, which would include raising the state’s income tax and sales tax. With multiple Democrats now running for governor 2018, it’s clear they would continue Malloy’s disastrous economic policies that would further hurt Connecticut families.

Fox 61 reports:

“There are several proposals out there that lawmakers are considering which includes increasing Connecticut’s sales tax, or bumping up the amount of the most wealthy pay in the state.

Right now in the state the sales tax is 6.35 percent. A proposed bill would raise that to 6.99 percent…

Meanwhile, another proposal raises the income tax rate…..They are now paying 6.99 percent and a proposal would raise that to 7.49 percent, the highest its been since the tax was introduced more than 25 years ago.”
