One of the highest taxed states in the U.S. Commonly seen as the "rich state". The state where there is absolutely nothing to do besides work, drive around, go to Foxwoods/Mohegan Sun, or drink/do drugs.
Connecticut very rarely pumps out any pro or semi-pro athletes at all. Home to cities and counties such as Farfield (the rich part), New Haven (the wannabe NYC Bronx), Hartford (New England street racing central), and New London/Groton-Mystic County (the extremely boring part where the casinos call home).
If you want to move to a boring state then you can choose Connecticut.

Jake: Yo dawg, you're moving to Connecticut. What, did your parents hit the lotto or something?
Bill: Nah man, my dad got a job at Pfizer there. I have a pen-pal that lives there. He told me to prepare myself with a handgun, Abercrombie shirts, and a bottle of scotch.... Sounds like hell.

a place where all the kids go to rich private schools. they all compete at what ivy colleges they want to go to from the age of 12. if you go to boarding school its not uncommon. many rich famous people have five houses in kent,ct or wilton,ct.
kids work their asses off starting from grade school just to brag about what colleges they want to go to.getting an -A is not spectacular its expected. the end.
you have three houses and maybe an apartment building on the upper east side. all the teenagers have bmw's. they spend all their parents money and use it to buy drugs... many people are rich but they don't have to say anything because well.. it shows.

My home state in which I have spent half my life so far. Get this through your thick heads america, WE ARE ALL NOT RICH! I lived in Waterbury which is really ghetto and filled with blacks and hispanics.
The Connecticut that I know is far different from what comes to mind for everyone else. The Connecticut that I know is a rough and tumble place full of alcoholics and people recently laid off from their $75k+ factory jobs. It's a small place where people think small and use small words. (Forgive me Peter Gabriel) Contrary to CT having a high IQ, most nutmeggers I knew were just a notch above retarded.
Which is why I moved to Orlando, Florida where I increased my standard of living for much less money

A state that helps connect Boston to New York City.
Be prepared to endure long roads filled with 16 wheelers and people other than connecticut residents. People tend to ask themselves when they left the highway, and somehow ended up on someone's private road with nice cut grass and spacious trees. Don't fret... It's just the Merritt Parkway.

Connecticut is not all rich. Beside Fairfield County, it is really pretty normal. I live in New Haven, and honestly I do not feel CT deserves to have the "Rich State" title. It just isn't accurate. There are many "Ghetto" neighborhoods and high crime areas all around, people outside of Connecticut just don't take the time realize. We're not all rich, yes we make more on average per household, but its not all like that. If people took the time to realize CT isn't just of the home of Prep School snobs and Yale, then maybe they'll understand what we're all about.
Are you from Connecticut?
Yes.
So, you're rich and live in a colonial house?
Far from it, we're not all like that.
Sure you aren't.

One of the States of the United States of America and one of the original 13 colonies to declare their independence from Great Britain. Was among the first of the states to seek independence. Connecticut has a rich history and was the home of many patriots. Connecticut is currently among the richest state in the union, and is unfortunately largely filled with rich white liberals. Good education is available to those who can afford it, but taxes are high, and some consider it one of the least free states based on personal and economic freedoms. Drivers are rude (probably 2nd worst in the nation) but not as bad as nearby Massachusetts.
Politically it is usually a blue state filled with idiotic liberals with a bad habit of reelected the same corrupt politicians like Chris Dodd. Some fear Connecticut will turn into an ineffective, bankrupt, one-party state like Massachusetts.
