While you're at it ask her what the lottery general fund is going to. The whole reason the lottery was started was to help fund education.

Then ask her why it costs $10,000 a year to put a kid through public school in CT but on average a private school for the same kid costs about $3,000.

Then ask her why cutting CT's obscene gas tax is bad for the consumer. Looks to me like it's only bad for the state as the more expensive gas becomes the more CT profits. We're all supposed to hate Exxon for it, why not CT?

Then somebody please tell me why while I struggle to afford a $120K home the government can take over $10K/year away from me in taxation? If I had that $10K I could afford a $300K home and not have to eat rice all the time.

I'm going to need a reason better than "because we're the government" pretty soon or my head is apt to explode all over a wall at city hall.

ON WHALLEY you are right - except it won't be my head and I eat beans instead of rice.

Where is the money going? If it is supposed to be going to one thing and it is not, that is stealing. Stealing is a crime. If it is our elected officials who make it so, then our government is a gang of criminals.
