@Drnaline,
I remember when CT first added their state income tax. i was about 10 or 12 years old, and my parents too me to the rally at the governor's mansion.
Even with my income, i only end up paying a couple thousand a year.
Mind you, CT has ZERO toll roads. not one bridge or highway has a toll booth on it.
i'd probably pay more if we had toll roads than the couple grand on my taxes.
i'm content with that.
