It will leave behind the working and middle class to pick up the tab at a time when they are already struggling. All CT Republicans on the Finance Committee voted AGAINST these tax proposals today. The Democrats’ plan includes the following taxes: 🛒A mileage tax on trucks that will increase costs of groceries and home heating oil ($45 million in FY23 and $90 million in FY 24) 🏠Cancels property tax relief ($53 million tax increase annually in FY 22 and FY 23) 💵Cancels tax relief for job creators, 10% corporate tax surcharge ($80 million in FY 22, and $50 million annually in FY 23 and FY 24) 🛍A new $500 million annual consumption tax described by Democrats as a way to increase the sales tax rate on higher income residents 💳Imposes a convenience fee for credit/debit card use ($5 million annually in FY 23 and FY 24) 🎰New taxes related to gaming ($30.5 million in FY 22, $43.1 million in FY 23, $58.8 million in FY 24) 💻New social media advertising tax ($150 million in FY 22, $162 million in FY 23, $175 million in FY 24) 💰New 2% surcharge on capital gains ($262 million annually) 💸New taxes related to cannabis legalization ($11.1 million in FY 22, 39.5 million in FY 23, 73.1 million in FY 24) #ctbudget #cttaxes #ctleg #ctpolitics #ctgop #repost @ctsenategop 😔 When you live in a state that hates you this is how they tax you... #2024move #escape #run @ctsenatedems are 🗑️ @cthousedems are 🗑️ https://www.instagram.com/p/COGM6kCAbXj/?igshid=rjqriuuv44ui
