I agree.......Conn JUST went through putting an income tax on the books in the 90s and guess what, yup, the overall state tax burden went up, not down ! I am going to say it forever out here: show me ONE state in the nation that added a sales or income tax that in the long term lowered property taxes, or its overall tax burden, just one.
