when you’re asking whether or not liberalism makes it harder to accumulate wealth over a lifetime, taxes is an obvious metric. The state government controls its tax rates
Do you admit that over 50 years, you’d pay a ton more in taxes if you lived in CT, compared to living in a Boston suburb in NH?
And maybe you need to look at other factors. Fine. Please tell me what factors make CT look cheaper than NH? What factors offset the higher taxes in CT?
if UCONN was free, you’d have a point. It ain’t.
If we had no gas taxes, you’d have a point. But we do.
All i can think of is tolls. NH had tolls and we don’t. But we have insane gas taxes.
