I was still stuck in that "tax-the-shit-out-of-the-rich-because-they-can-afford-it" mentality and it was all put in the clear to me. Connecticut was leaning so heavily on these 100 people, these 100 people were paying such a high percentage of the tax revenue, that when they had a bad year the whole state suffered from lack of funds. And these people weren't even running away like common knowledge tells us people will do when they are taxed too much, they just simply weren't producing the "revenue" anymore
