Upper-Income Connecticut Taxpayers Sharing in the Solution

Like most states, Connecticut is facing a severe budget deficit – nearly $9 billion over the next 2 fiscal years. Responsible Wealth, together with our Connecticut partner, the Better Choices Coalition, believes that Governor Rell and many legislators are overlooking the most logical and progressive solution to the budget crisis: raising tax rates on upper-income Connecticut State taxpayers (including out of state residents with CT income), which could raise as much as $1.8 billion per year. If you are an upper-income Connecticut taxpayer (over $200,000 household income), please sign on to the letter below today. We need your voice! Although the legislative session has ended, budget negotiations are expected to continue. Please sign on and forward this letter TODAY.
