Boat Charities

C.T. has many issues like an increasing yearly vehicle/trailer/boat tax, increasing yearly income tax, increased taxes on food items and cigarettes, gas cost is 5 to 10 cents higher than the national average, yearly property taxes for homes start around $2,000 and go beyond $5,000. The state offers nothing to national and world wide tourists so it does not see any money from tourism. C.T. has many laws and regulations that drain it’s people to create state and town revenue through fines, fees, taxes, and penalties. It is the only state where you can not own a bullet proof vest for personal safety whether for hunting or otherwise. There are more reasons to avoid C.T. but we don’t have all day.

How great would it be to have a flat 20% tax on all purchases in place of income tax. 12% to go to federal and 8% to the state in which the item was purchased. That way all are truly equal no loopholes for anyone. If you can afford a 10 mill dollar boat you can afford the tax and those who need governmant assistance would also be paying back into the system since we are all consumers as well as immigrants living in a country illegally would be paying into the services needed to run the communities in which they live.
