Cautionary Tales
Democrats promised "temporary" and "small" taxes in neighboring states. Here's what happened.
1991: Governor Weicker introduces a "modest" income tax at 1.5%. Promises it will be temporary and reduce property taxes.
Today: The rate is 6.99%. Property taxes are the 3rd highest in America. The constitutional spending cap was never enforced.
The cost: State spending grew 71% faster than inflation. Taxpayers have paid a cumulative $126 billion in income taxes since 1991. The population has shrunk by 325,000 people.
Rate growth: From 1.5% to 6.99% — a 366% increase in the "modest" tax.
1966: Introduces a "temporary" 3% sales tax to address a budget shortfall. Explicitly set to expire at end of 1968.
1967: Made permanent — one year later.
Today: The rate is 6.25%. In 2022, voters approved a 4% surtax on income over $1M. Residents continue to flee to New Hampshire.
59 years later: The "temporary" tax has been permanent for 59 years and counting.
Every "temporary" tax becomes permanent.
Connecticut and Massachusetts both promised their taxes would be small and short-lived. Decades later, rates have tripled and quadrupled. 158 New Hampshire Democrats just voted against banning an income tax here.
