Meet Joe Aresimowicz

Times are tough and money is tight in households across
Connecticut. Despite that fact the Democrats in the legislature insisted on a
record tax and increase of $1.42 billion.

Democrats chose to tax everything from cigarettes to
job-creating corporations in their zeal to grow government and attempt to
increase their grip on the lowly taxpayers and residents of Connecticut.

Despite paying lip service to looking out for “working
families,” Democrats have initialized a 10 percent surcharge on corporations
like Pratt and Whitney, among others. So Pratt indicates it may leave the state
(and take thousands of jobs with them) due to the onerous and burdensome taxes
and regulations, and the Democrats pile another tax on them, all the while
claiming to be “fighting” to keep Pratt in Connecticut.

The film tax credit program recently put into place has been
one of the few bright spots in our economy. But guess what? Democrats reduced
the film credit to get more “revenues” to feed their bureaucratic beast.

If you are one of the lucky ones in Connecticut and actually
have a decent job, they’re coming after you, too. Nursing certificate fees,
daycare license fees and all other occupational license fees have been doubled
in many cases. Oh, and bus and train fares will go up also.

And when you are out of work, the Democrats want to crimp
your leisure time by doubling your fishing license fee, for example.

The examples are endless, but the picture is quite clear:
Democrats can care less about the average Connecticut citizen. All they care
about is staying in office, and they have proven they are willing to tax you to
death to accomplish that goal.

Democrats ignored the Republicans’ no-tax increase budget
proposals, in a disgusting gesture that reeked of arrogance. Let’s be sure to
return the favor and ignore Democrats’ pleas for votes at the polls in
November.
