very true. But in CT, poll after poll shows that families and retirees are fleeing because of taxes. CT no longer has any value proposition.
My brother
moved his business and his family from CT to a spectacular suburb in Nashville. He saves over $1,000 a month in taxes.
I could move to NH tomorrow, buy a house exactly like
mine in a town with comparable schools near Boston, and save $700 a month in taxes. over a few decades, it’s hundreds of thousands of dollars. For what? What am I getting for that premium i pay? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. CT is a horribly, horribly run place. Businesses are moving to Massachusetts for the tax savings.
I can’t move because of
my parents, they’re older, they live a mile away, and they rely heavily on my wife to run them
around. And they won’t move. They’d be screwed if i left. If not for them, i’d be in NH in a flash. The tax savings would
pay for two of my kids to go to a public college. It’s mind boggling.
I have a 12 year old
minivan, and. a three year old pickup truck ( lowest tr version that Ford offers), and i pay $1,000 a year to my town in property taxes on those two cars.
