THE FEDERAL FOOTPRINT IN CONNECTICUT |
"With an extremely high FY 2000 federal tax burden per
capita (164 percent of the national average), even above-average
federal spending (102 percent of the national average) couldn't
prevent Connecticut form having the lowest federal spending-to-tax
ratio (0.62). The 0.62 ratio means that Connecticut only receives 62
cents in federal spending for every dollar its taxpayers send to
Washington and is therefore the nation's biggest loser from federal
fiscal operations." [from the report, "Federal
Tax Burdens and Expenditures by State," the Tax Foundation,
June 2001]

HOW CONNECTICUT RAISES REVENUE
|
"Our primary finding is that most state and local tax
systems take a much greater share of income from middle- and
low-income families than from the wealthy." [from
the report, "Who Pays? A Distributional Analysis of the Tax
Systems in All 50 States," published by the Institute on
Taxation & Economic Policy, January 2003]
