Reply to comment by mkt853 in CT among the states with the highest tax burden by Kingdavid100

We don’t have a “high quality of life” here. Our roads are shit, we pay $7k in taxes on a ranch built in the 50’s that we’ve had paid off for over 10 years

So your proof that all 3.6m CT residents generally don't enjoy a high quality of life is because your road is shit and you pay $7k in taxes and have a house you don't like? That's your entire case? Sorry man that's pretty f*cking weak. Just basic shit like public education, household/median income, access to health care, life expectancy, obesity rates, infant mortality, and on and on CT is at the top or very near the top in just about every basic SoL/QoL category like that. You're over here mad about a pothole on your street when parts of this country are on the level of developing African nations when it comes to just having clean potable water. Beyond the stuff we can control, when you live in CT, you're not at risk of losing all your stuff and having your town burn down from a wildfire, or being leveled by a tornado or washed away in a flood. Some of you whiners need a little fucking perspective because you have no clue how good you have it especially in light of what happened last weekend in the south.

Most people on this sub are from white privileged neighborhoods anyways. Y’all love to preach about shit but you’ve never stepped foot in the hood.

Have you driven on other states’ roads? Have you noticed how when you cross from Mass or NY to CT, the road becomes markedly smoother.
