Theme: Governance

ENDORSEMENT:

As an economist (not as a libertarian or conservative) I am endorsing Bob Stefanowski for Governor of Connecticut.

I don’t usually get involved with ‘domestic disputes’ but this man is rock solid and his plan will rescue the state from collapse both demographic, economic, legal, and financial.

Connecticut, Massachusetts, and California are the three states where the left intellectuals (Yale, Harvard, Berkeley) were able to assert the greatest influence on policy due to the density of working class labor in the east, and the immigration wealth generated by the settlement and expansion of California.

California has such immigration demand due to the desirability of pacific coastal living, theincrease in asian port activity, and the movement of the tech sector from Boston to San Francisco.

Mass has partly corrected because the loss of the tech sector forced them to reorganize slowly since 1986.

Connecticut has not corrected for reasons that include extraordinary tax income from NYC revenues, but CT residency, and the continuous flight of industry from the state. (And the rather high minded puritanical virtue-cycle self-delusional character of new englanders ).

Connecticut has driven out anyone who can afford to leave. it has one asset and many liabilities. The asset is the territory itself which is an extremely desirable bit of greenery and rolling hills that make residential life … idyllic. The liability is that it’s populated with sh_t-holes from Springfield MA, south to Windsor, Bloomfield, Hartford, East Hartford, Manchester, Willimantic, Norwich, Newington, New Britain, Bristol, Waterbury, Wallingford, North Haven, Hamden, New Haven, Milford and Bridgeport.

Basically everything within five miles of the north-south corridor is a sh_t-hole. Every small town on the other hand is a remnant of ‘little england’ and it’s migration to ‘new england’.

This cannot be fixed without either radical exit of the working and underclasses (unlikely), or radical entry of SCIENTIFIC higher education (my idea), and radical attraction of wealthy settlers (coasts), and radical attraction of business.

This Candidate may or may not succeed. But he is the real deal when it comes to finance, economics, and taxes.
