I just saw the top 5 states with the highest tax burdens and guess what? Connecticut was #1!!
>>5 Highest State Tax Burdens
1. Connecticut
Income tax: 5%
Sales tax: 6.35%
Property tax per capita: $2,381
Inheritance tax: 7.2% to 16% with $2 million exemption
High taxes in Connecticut are paired with the nation's highest income per capita--$56,001 per person in 2010, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. A sales tax increase took effect in July, raising the rate, from 6 percent to 6.35 percent, and adding a further 3 percentage-point levy on luxury goods such as expensive cars and boats. The state collects the third-highest property taxes per capita and is one of 14 states to tax Social Security income, according to CCH<<
And we mustn't forget the local property taxes that we apy to the town of Hebron!
No wonder I am contemplating moving out of here.....
