A Democrat-controlled legislature has been deceiving Connecticut residents with a home-grown Ponzi scheme for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, the swindler of the early 1900s, Ponzi schemes create the appearance of operating a legitimate business by using the money from new investors to deliver fake profits to earlier investors.
Sadly, this is exactly how government operates in Connecticut. Taxes are raised year after year to fund popular giveaways the state can’t afford, rather than investing in the structural reform needed to improve the lives of Connecticut families, even as they struggle to survive in one of the most unaffordable states in the nation.
