George Conway called it perfectly last Sunday

Well SC does suck and Conn. is much better by almost every measure other than taxes. I've been to myrtle beach a few times visiting friends. Glad to leave when I do. My buddy loves it there bc he lives like a king while the help in his restaurant live crappy lives. My buddy also forgets that is FIL gave him the rest. and bf he had it he had a lousy job delivering flowers.

The impact is now the blue (donor) states are being taxed on $ they paid out to the state. That impacted blue states which are Dem. The Red states had the same ability to take those deductions but they had lower taxes so the cap. doesn't impact them.

The low tax states never subside the high tax states - instead they complain about taxes yet gladly have their hands out to accept $ from the gov. You think they would have some pride and not accept as much $ or at least keep their mouths shut.

SC is gaining population, CT is one of the very few states losing population. So there’s that.

Paul, are you up for answering a question? here goes.

SC has some godawful places. But there are also thriving suburbs with good schools, a good quality life, and a cheap cost of
living.

How many places does CT have like that? How many places does CT have that offer a good quality of
life with the SC price tag? Zero?

my daughter is at school in South Carolina, she loves it there, will go to graduate school there or NC and is not coming back...every time I visit I can't get over how friendly and happy everyone that you meet down there is...it's a stark contrast to the Northeast...and that's everyone from the panhandlers to the folks at the grocery stores and convenience stores to the hotels, airports and on.....I love the the typical northeastern liberal arrogant snobbery that burns brightly when talking about other areas of the country particularly the south, cracks me up

Yep, my daughter just graduated from school in NC, me and my wife loved it down there, leading contender for retirement right now.

Now she's moved onto graduate school in a 3rd world country,oops I mean, Baltimore.

Impressive hypocrisy to go along with your snarkyness.

where does she go to school?

the part of SC that’s a suburb of Charlotte, is awesome. We looked at Fort Mill SC, awesome schools, easy commute to Charlotte, insanely low taxes. nothing like that in CT at that cost, but even close.

CT has advantages, mostly from its proximity to Manhattan, not because of its state government, which is in the final stages of
killing the state off.

That’s where my daughter just graduated from, beautiful school. Loved the area, loved the people, and loved the BBQ. She loved it down there.

If your daughter has any questions about the place, send me a PM, I’ll see if my daughter can answer them for her.

I think the quality of life is better in Ct. Even w/the high taxes. If taxes are your thing - move to SC. If there are other things you want to add into the equation look at rankings of different categories and you'll see Ct ranks much higher than SC.

“they don’t want to pay lower taxes”.

then why aren’t they moving to CA or Long Island?

you dodged my question completely so i’ll ask again.

please tell me where i can live in CT and enjoy the low taxes and quality of
life available in SOME towns
if SC? Please point me to one such place?

SC has more dumps than CT. But it has something that CT does not have, nor will ever have. Booming suburbs near a real city ( Charlotte) with insanely low taxes.

SO you didn't answer my question. At what point does your snarkyness impact your personal life.
