The gap between Connecticut’s wealthy and poor is the second largest in the nation behind only New York

Has it ever occurred to anybody that it cost TONS more to live in Stamford than it does in Torrington?

Ahhh, here comes the pitch from progressive libs for more redistribution of wealth. Raise the taxes on the rich! Of course, you never hear them finish the statement with "and give the money directly to the bottom 20%" .... No, what is not said is that those taxes foisted upon the rich will only be used to fatten the overbloated government at all levels (after the politicians skim their take off the top, of course).

And why would the income gap be larger in two of the, arguably, most liberal states? Hmm.

Obviously, working as intended. Need those "victims" to keep the vote count up.

Nah, I just see it as the natural progression of the failure of liberal policies. Create excessive rules, regulations, and taxes that ultimately hurt those on the bottom that they are intending to help. Unseen consequences and all that.

Same concept: It costs more to live in Manhattan than Syracuse. The median home cost is $73,000 in Syracuse. In Manhattan $73,000 is low end to buy a PARKING SPOT.

Because whatever leftists SAY, they don't actually mean THEMSELVES.

They say this, they say that, but they make sure they stay rich, keep their money, live in gated communities or have guards and security, and send their children to white private schools.

I mean, hey, none of this everybody-mix-it-up crap was supposed to mean people in Connecticut commuting to Wall Street!!
