Have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving.

To all of my loyal readers:
Have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving.
We will Take Back Connecticut in 2018, rest assured.
I leave you with this powerful Psalm today.
Psalm 145:1-7
I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever. Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They tell of the power of your awesome works—and I will proclaim your great deeds. They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

$129,065.28 State Pension. Not Bad When You Are Broke.

William Cibes was a public employee for many years being supported by Connecticut Taxpayers.  Connecticut has short and long term debt of about $60 to $80 Billion dollars.  How does this relate to Connecticut's massive debt?  Well Cibes was the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management under Gov. Lowell P. Weicker, Jr., from 1991 to 1994 and then amazingly enough became the Chancellor of the Connecticut State University System from 1994 to 2006. He also served in the Connecticut General Assembly from 1979 to 1991.  He was a leading proponent of the Weicker driven Utopian State Income Tax that was supposed to resolve all of Connecticut's fiscal problems.  Cibes short stay as a one term Secretary of Office of Policy and Management was then rewarded with becoming the Chancellor of the then Connecticut State University System.  Cibes is now co-chairman of the Connecticut’s Spending Cap Commission which is my opinion a political tool allowing Cibes to proclaim that Connecticut's spending is not out-of-control nor has the state income tax contributed to the long decline of Connecticut's economy.   Cibes state pension is a mere $129,065.28 a year that Connecticut Taxpayers must pay for each year.  Cibes apparently feels that his pension is justified as being a political servant to the Connecticut liberal establishment.
Can one argue from an economics point of view that he provided any "economic productivity" in his many years of living off the Connecticut Taxpayer's gravy train?  Can one argue that the progressive Utopian state income tax has done little than drive the nails into the economic coffin that was once a dynamic and prosperous economy?
Cibes helped to create these economic problems that Connecticut still must address 25 years later.  In my economic opinion he has few qualifications to be co-chairman of the Connecticut’s Spending Cap Commission as there is no spending cap since it was ruled unconstitutional by a Connecticut Democrat Attorney General.  And Cibes comments are economically irrational and illogical.  The Connecticut economic problem is out-of-control spending on salaries, benefits and pensions.  Cibes pension is an excellent example of the constant waste of Connecticut Taxpayer's monies.
His $129,065.28 state pension is not bad for a Democrat led bankrupt state and a prime example of government waste.
It is Time To Take back Connecticut In 2018.  William Cibes and his destructive economic policies have done enough damage to Connecticut.

You Mean There Is A Connecticut Democrat Economic Plan? Kind Of Late-Don't You Think?

The Connecticut Democrat Party never ceases to amaze me especially when it is election time.
The Governor claimed there was no budget deficit and the budget deficit has not ceased to exist for six long years now of new and higher taxes.
The Governor claimed that business conditions have improved through his and his fellow Connecticut Democrat programs of corporate welfare that picks the winners and losers in our economy.  Even though Connecticut ranks near the bottom in all too many economic programs.
The Connecticut Democrat Party now has a supposed "small business agenda"  that they are embracing.  Even though in my economic opinion the Connecticut Democrat Party is anti business and anti free market as proven by their tax and spend policies and by their current United States Senator Richard Blumenthal's war on small businesses while he was the states' Attorney General for all too many years.
The Connecticut Democrat Party embraces corporate welfare as a means to their political ends-we will throw you want you want, make sure you donate to our cause.  Sort of like Hillary Clinton's current campaign and tenure as Secretary of State.
Taxpayers must be wondering why and how any Connecticut Democrats are running for election or reelection in 2016 for the State House or State Senate based upon the horrific economic conditions we have in our state?  Do you they really believe that their economic policies somehow work?
They do not.  And they never will.
It is time to take back Connecticut on Tuesday.  Enough of the politically and economically inept Connecticut Democrat Party.  We can not afford two more years of omnipotent one part rule that has failed our state day in and day out.
Vote for State Representative in the 90th District Craig Fishbein
Vote for State Representative in the 85th District Serge Mihlay.
Vote for State Representative in the 86th District Vin Candelora.
Vote for State Senate in the 13th District Len Suzio.
Vote for State Senate in the 16th District Joe Markley.
Vote for State Senate in the 34th District Len Fasano.
Vote Republican this Tuesday.

What Happened to Honesty In Government?

I wonder what happened to honesty in government?  I wonder what happened to truthful elected officials?  I wonder what happened to competency in elected officials?  I wonder what happened to campaigns that talked about resolutions to current problems and issues rather personal glorification?
I wonder what happened to elected and appointed officials having a grasp of the responsibilities of their positions?  I wonder what happened to the United States Constitution?  I wonder what happened to the State of Connecticut Constitution? I wonder what happened to placing the United States of America above both financial and personal gain while in office? I wonder what happened to an Oath of Office?  I wonder what happened to the belief in God in the United States of America?  I wonder what happened to elected and appointed officials who actually did their jobs in a coherent and logical way placing the United States of America's interests first rather their own?  I wonder what happened to truth in government?
I wonder what happened to the United States of America?
It saddens me to think of the decline of our nation in this manner.
And it disgusts me to see our current ruling political elite continue to place their personal and financial interests first rather than the best interests of our country.
If you believe the Clinton family places our country's interest first you are sadly mistaken.  I will take a President Trump any day over the Clinton fraud we have to endure each day of this election.
President Trump.  Maybe we do not need to become another example of the decline and fall of an Empire in 2016.

Wallingfortd's 85th District Needs A New State Representative Republican Serge Mihaly

-->
Republican candidate Serge Mihaly for State Representative in Wallingford’s 85th District is a man of beliefs, convictions and principals.  He is not afraid to speak his mind and express his opinions.
He is running against Representative Mary Mushinsky in Wallingford’s 85th District.  She is the same Representative who has voted for every tax increase since she has been in office and she has been in office a mere 36 years now helping to oversee the complete economic dismantling of our state economy.  She voted for the Utopian State Income Tax, the supposed cure all for all of Connecticut’s economic woes.  That really helped didn’t it?  That is the real record she is running on Election Day, tax and spend and tax spend even more with no end in sight.  Why does she deserve another two years in office to continue to inflict more economic hardship on the taxpayers of the district with her never ending tax increases that she supports with a budget that never balances?
Candidate Mihaly is not part of the Omnipotent One Party Rule Of Hartford.   He represents taxpayers not the political elite who run Connecticut. It Is Time To Take Back Connecticut In November.  And what better way than to replace the tired and economically ineffective policies of career Democrat politician Mary Mushinsky than with the crisp and new effective economic policies of Republican Serge Mihaly.
Vote Serge Mihaly for State Representative in Wallingford’s 85th District in November.

Are You Better Off Today In Connecticut? Vote Republican on November 8th.

Are you better off today in Connecticut?   Are you better off in Connecticut over the past two years?  The past four years?  The past six years?  Are you better off since the Connecticut state income tax was passed?  Are you better off with even more bloated state management jobs and positions with high pay, benefits and pensions than two years ago?  Are you better off as a Connecticut taxpayer knowing that your state has over $70 billion dollars in short and long term unfunded debt and liabilities?  Are you better off knowing the Governor and his Democrat controlled General Assembly can't figure out what the current never ending budget deficit is at any time?   The same budget deficit that the Governor stated did not exist when running for reelection?  Are you better off being lied to by your Democrat elected officials on virtually every and any topic that pertains to you living in Connecticut?  Are you better knowing that the legally voted on and passed Connecticut Constitution Balanced Budget Amendment is somehow ruled unconstitutional to serve the purposes of the Connecticut Democrat Party?   Are you better off with one party rule in Connecticut?  Are you better off knowing that the Connecticut Democrat Party at any time can enact laws and rules that continue to erode and take away your personal and work freedom?  Are you better off knowing that Connecticut law abiding citizens who own legal guns are considered criminals while criminals with illegal guns are somehow the victims according to the Connecticut Democrat Party?  Are you better off knowing that you the Connecticut Taxpayer serve the Connecticut Democrat Party as serfs in their serfdom of political patronage, omnipotent political power and tyrannical economic rule?
Are you better off this election year?  Are you that better off here in Connecticut to vote yet again back into power for another two years the stale, ineffective, economically illogical and omnipotent Democrat Party to continue its unyielding march to completely dismantle freedom and the state's economy to their rule and advantage?
I do not think so.
It is time to take back Connecticut on November 8th.  There can be no rational or logical arguments any more to vote back into office and to power any Connecticut Democrat Representative or Senator this election day.  They have failed miserably in running this state for many years now.  They are responsible for the economic decline of Connecticut.  They own the horrific state economy.
It is time to take back Connecticut on November 8th.  It is time for voters to vote into office in mass Republican candidates for the State House and State Senate.  Connecticut Taxpayers deserve more respect that what they have been forced fed by the Hartford's Omnipotent One Party Rule for years now.   Vote Republican this election day.

Why Have Ethics, Honesty and Truth Been Eliminated From Politics in 2016?



Why are ethics considered immoral and unwanted in politics in 2016?
Why is honesty wrong and being dishonest right in politics in 2016?  Why is truth considered a lie in politics in 2016?
I am personally sickened to see how far politics has regressed as far ethics, honesty and truth is concerned in 2016 especially at the national level.  As a taxpayer I am sickened to see that our government was and is for sale to enrich donors and a supposed charitable foundation.  I am personally sickened as to the cover up of the massive amount of lies that we are force fed each day by the media to place into the highest elected office in our country the first woman President who by no means has any ethics, honesty or truth forthcoming from her past, her present or her future.  I am horrified by the daily economic lies that are force fed to us here in Connecticut by the Connecticut Democrat Party to gain again full control of the House and Senate to continue Connecticut’s march to economic ruin.  
Again I ask why have ethics, honesty and truth been eliminated from politics in 2016?
Why?
To me there is no more rule of law or accountability in either our state or national government.  It is evident that taxpayers serve our government daily through the constant paying of taxes to support an elite group of individuals.  This elite group dictates to the masses what freedoms we can and cannot have.  This elite group manipulates rules and laws to their economic benefit.  This elite group has taken over our country and is leading us to a path of a painful and ruthless socialism.
The decision to me is clear on November 8th, 2016 and it is not a corrupted Democrat President.  Let us hope and pray that are freedoms are not eliminated even more over the next four years.  We as a country need to bring back ethics, honesty and truth to our political system.  Or is it too late?  God Bless America today and every day.

Connecticut Republican Dan Carter For United States Senator

United States Air Force and Operation Desert Storm Veteran Dan Carter is the Republican candidate for United States Senate here in Connecticut.  You would not know that since our current Senator Dick Blumenthal controls Connecticut's media with his constant 20 second sound bites on correcting all of the ills of our world. What he has accomplished is unknown to me other than he has constant press conferences that tell us how wonderful he is for looking into everything and anything that can garner press for him.  I am surprised Blumenthal has not sent to all Connecticut residents a picture of himself that we have to hang up in our homes to remind us daily that he is our Senator.  Blumenthal is all talk with no results other than satisfying his unsatisfied ego.  And Dan Carter is an actual Veteran who served in harms way unlike our current Senator.
It is too bad there can not be more than one debate between Carter and Blumenthal.  I do not understand why Connecticut Voters are not allowed to hear more from Blumenthal in an unrehearsed manner.  Is he afraid of his opposition?  Is he afraid of the truth of how bad Connecticut's economy is?  Six years is a long time to show Connecticut Voters that our Senior Senator has done little to impact and or better our economy.
Dan Carter has impressed me in his short time as a Connecticut State Representative having the guts to vote against Connecticut's ridiculous and ineffective gun control bill, the never ending tax increases force fed to us by the Democrats and the equally ineffective and deadly early release program.  He stands for smaller and more effective government.  He is more concerned with actual issues rather than satisfying his ego.
I know he can make a difference with actual concerns for Connecticut Taxpayers with actual actions rather than just spewed rhetoric that we must hear from Blumenthal on a daily basis.
I urge Connecticut voters to vote for Republican Dan Carter for United States Senate.  It Is Time To Take Back Connecticut In November.

$200 Million Dollars To Sikorsky-Close 2 Technical High Schools

Connecticut's Governor Dan Malloy must have a strong dislike for those people in society who need help.  People who can not take care of themselves or need help seem to be abused by the Governor as evidence of all of the budget cuts he has implemented for hospitals, people with disabilities, children and youthful offenders to name a few.  Now he wants to eliminate two state Technical/Vocational High Schools to save money.
What Malloy never mentions are budget cuts to the bloated upper level and middle level management group of state employees who live off the Connecticut Taxpayers.  Ever look at what state Commissioners receive in salaries and benefits?  For example the President of the Connecticut Board of Regents Mark Ojakian (who has no education management background) receives a mere $335,000 a year in salary plus benefits plus a massive pension when he retires.  How about all state Commissioners and the Governor work for a year with no salary and benefits to save money for the state?
And after Sikorsky receives $220 million dollars in Connecticut Taxpayers monies, Malloy now wants to cut spending again and in particular two state Technical High Schools.  Now this after the two highest Democrat tax increases in the states history still has not been enough to eliminate the massive yearly budgets deficits nor even begin to address the massive $60 to $80 billion dollars of short and long term unfunded liabilities.  It is just more of the same for Dan Malloy and Hartford's Omnipotent One Party Rule of the Connecticut Democrat Party.  More taxes, more lies, more politically connected, more theft.  More, more, more.
Connecticut Taxpayers hopefully have had enough of Dan Malloy and the Connecticut Democrat Party.  And hopefully most Democrats in our state legislature will lose their seats in the coming November election.  It is time to take back Connecticut.  Don't you think it is time for new leadership?

The 2016 Swick Connecticut Retention Package

What will will it take to retain my wife and I to live in Connecticut before we move out?
We are both life long residents of Connecticut.  We were both born and raised here.  We have faithfully paid our taxes since we started working.  We have paid our ever increasing state income tax since it was enacted over the outcry of Connecticut Taxpayers.  We have paid every other conceivable Connecticut tax since we were born.
We are threatening to move out of Connecticut.  We do not want to however the current economic climate and the corrupted political system has given us no choice than to look at other states.  We have seen the packages offered in others states such as Florida and the Carolinas.  In some of these other states that have made offers we would experience a much lower state tax burden than we have in Connecticut.   In some of these other states that have made offers we would experience a much lower local/property/county tax burden than we have in Connecticut.   In some of these other states that have made offers we would experience much lower insurance rates for property and autos than we have in Connecticut.
Again please do not take lightly our threat to move out of Connecticut.  My wife and I pay an enormous sum in state and local taxes. My wife and I support economically local businesses through our purchases.  I have educated many young people over my thirty four years of being an Adjunct Professor of Business and Economics in many Connecticut Colleges and Universities.  All of this would be a massive economic hit to the state and local economy if we were to move out of Connecticut.
Please do think these are talking points either just because it is election time.  Our thoughts are real.
We feel that what is good for Sikorsky is good for the Swick's.  We feel what is good for Connecticut's First Five is good for the Swick's.  We feel what is good for political crony capitalism is good for the Swick's.  After all we have been here much longer than many individuals and corporations who feed off the Connecticut Taxpayers.  Now it should be our turn.
Thus what is the offer from the Governor and our State Legislature?

The silence is deafening to the Swick's.

More Connecticut Taxpayers Corporate Welfare Per Dan Malloy




-->
Dan Malloy is at it again spending Connecticut Taxpayers monies in yet another corporate welfare scheme.  Winners get picked daily by the Connecticut Democrat Party.
This time in an effort to stop the hemorrhaging of the upcoming losses for the Connecticut Democrat party in the November election, Malloy negotiated a massive $220 million dollar taxpayer subsidy to Sikorsky, a subsidiary of Lockhead Martin which is a $46.3 billion dollar corporation.  Supposedly this complex arrangement allows for 200 of the taxpayer funded CH-53K King Stallion heavy-lift helicopters to be built in Connecticut for the U.S. Navy until at least 2032.  After 2032 is apparently anybody’s guess and by that time I am sure the agreement will be long lost. And in 2032 Sikorsky will threaten to leave Connecticut and a new and even larger Connecticut Taxpayer funded subsidy will be granted. Note that  Lockheed Martin bought Sikorsky from United Technologies Corporation last year for a mere $9 billion dollars.
Looking more closely at this agreement I wonder how this benefits Connecticut Taxpayers who are funding it?  For example, sales and use taxes will be exempted up to $5.7 million dollars a year over the term of the agreement.  That will cost Connecticut Taxpayers $361,950. yearly.  If they exceed target level employment by a mere 100 to 550 jobs in any year of the agreement Connecticut Taxpayers will be on the hook to pay them a performance incentive grant of $1.9 million dollars a year for a total of up to $20 million dollars.
Thus we have more of the same for Connecticut Taxpayers, higher personal and business taxes for most and many exemptions for those companies in the state of Connecticut that are politically connected.  Here is some realistic math for this subsidy.  $220 million dollars of your tax monies is being used to help subsidize a $46.3 billion dollar company.  For corporations who can negotiate these types of sweetheart deals it does not better than that.  And once again Connecticut Taxpayers get left out of the gravy train that we call Connecticut state government. For Connecticut Taxpayers is yet again another lose, lose irrational economic policy.  When will it ever stop?  Not in my lifetime apparently.

Connecticut Must Change. Vote Republican Serge Mihaly for State Representative 85th District


A constant theme I utilize in my writings is that: “It Is Time To Take Back Connecticut In November.”   And in the 85th State House District of Wallingford that I live in there is no better example of a career Democrat politician who has contributed to the economic decline of our state than Democrat Mary Mushinsky who has been in office for 36 years now.  Looking back at her voting record voters should be reminded of her votes for the utopian state income tax and for the two largest tax increases in state history under the Malloy regime.  One can argue vehemently that career Democrat Representative Mushinsky’s tax and spend policies have help make Connecticut the doormat of most economic categories for cost of living, taxes, and business operations costs to name a few.  Connecticut lacks economic vibrancy.  Connecticut has one of the highest tax rates in the country.    I think taxpayers and voters are just in placing a good portion of the blame for our failed economic state on career Democrat Representative Mushinsky’s tax and spend policies. 
I just wonder if the voters of Wallingford’s 85th District have had enough of her tax and spend policies that have produced the never-ending economic debacle that we see Connecticut as in 2016?   Isn’t time for a change?  Hasn’t years of omnipotent one party rule severely impacted Connecticut’s ability to prosper?  At what point do taxpayers and voters demand a plan to pay off Connecticut’s long term debt of $60 to $80 billions of dollars? 
Republican candidate for State Representative Serge Mihaly is an educated individual who understands our state economy and realizes that the never-ending Democrat tax and spend policies must end.  He understands the economic problems of our state huge pension liabilities.  He understands that the state employee health care plan has the highest costs in the country that are subsidized through our tax monies.  He understands that our state government salaries are excessively high as compared to other states and must be contained.  He is willing to actually work for taxpayers to reduce their tax burden and make Connecticut great again.
Mihaly stated: “Hartford is too involved in our lives and excessive taxation is proof. Legislators view money as power, the more the better. But who better than you and I to know what we need and how to spend what we make? The less of our money government has, the less they can interfere.”  (8/5/16 Meriden Record Journal)
It Is Time To Take Back Connecticut In November.  And what better way than to replace the tired and economically ineffective policies of career Democrat politician Mary Mushinsky than with the crisp and new effective economic policies of Republican Serge Mihaly.
Vote Serge Mihaly for State Representative in Wallingford’s 85th District in November.

9/11/2001. Think About It This November.

On September 11, 2001 2,996 Americans were murdered in cold blood by radical Islamic terrorists.  These 2,996 Americans who died should never be and will never be forgotten by our country no matter how bad many in society wish to turn a blind eye to terrorism.  And we as a country are still fighting a very costly and dangerous war against terrorism in 2016, fifteen years later.
The economic costs of 9/11 and the subsequent fifteen years have been staggering in my opinion.  If one adds the damage to our infrastructure on 9/11 along with the rebuilding process and the additional costs of security and our never ending wars in Iraq and the Middle East, we may estimate upwards of over $5 Trillion dollars has been spent so far with no end in sight.   Air flight has been impacted due to long security check point lines and the inspection of luggage.  The TSA has morphed into a $7 Billion dollar a year bureaucracy financed minimally by travelers $2.50 per airplane ticket tax.   And are we more secure than the morning of 9/11/2001?
And why haven't we won the war against terrorism yet?  Why?  Because we have allowed our Congress to fight the war on terrorism instead of our military?  Because we have become politically correct in our views of terrorists?  Do some individuals in our country wish for this terrorism to occur?  At what price do we continue to pay for our supposed safety and well being against an enemy who in my opinion should have been eliminated many years ago?
On September 11, 2001 2,996 Americans were murdered in cold blood by radical Islamic terrorists.  
Please do not forget these individuals who gave their lives on that day.  And please do not forget the many thousands more who have been murdered in all of the other terrorists attacks and wars throughout the world since 9//11/2001. 
Terrorism needs to be eliminated.  There is strength in powerful leaders who wish to eliminate terrorism.  Think about it this November.  End it now.

Republican Len Suzio for State Senator in the 13th State Senate District



Republican Len Suzio is running again for State Senate in the 13th State Senate District that covers the communities of Cheshire, Meriden, Middlefield, and Middletown.  Mr. Suzio represented that District several years ago and was defeated in the last election by very few votes in an exceptionally close election.
Len Suzio is a man of principal and integrity something that in my opinion is sorely lacking in today’s State Legislature.  He also in my opinion understand the pitfalls of the tax and spend policies that have encumbered our state economy for many years now.  He has an exceptional background in the banking industry, is well educated and has been very active in the Meriden community.
The one area that I agree completely with Mr. Suzio is the elimination of Connecticut’s early release program for prison inmates.  He claims the state is failing and has failed to report that many prisoners who have been released before completing their sentences are now back in prison with such horrific crimes such as rapes and murders.  Mr. Suzio has stated the State Commissioner is not releasing vital information about these crimes being committed by prisoners who are let out early from our prisons in the state.   To me this should be a major campaign issue in Connecticut in 2016 but is being overlooked due to the horrific economic conditions the state is facing due to the years of economic neglect thanks to the Connecticut Democrat Party.
If you are a voter in the 13th State Senate District I urge you to send Len Suzio back to the State Senate to represent you.  He is an outstanding candidate to help Connecticut become strong again.
It is Time To Take Back Connecticut in November vote for Republican Len Suzio for State Senator in the 13th State Senate District.

Looking For A Job-Former Connecticut Democrat Officials Need Not Look Far From Connecticut Non Innovations

The corruption never ends here in Connecticut.  Connecticut Democrats who have served in the State Legislature never have to look far for a high paying position paid for by the Connecticut Taxpayers.
The new poster child for political cronyism and political corruption is former Democrat State Senator Gary LeBeau of East Hartford who was a public school teacher and administrator and received a $75,000 no bid consulting contract with the Connecticut Taxpayer funded Connecticut Innovations Agency.  This agency supposedly provides support for companies in our state that are innovative,  has given a $75,000 consulting contract to a 69-year-old former state legislator who spent his life as a public school teacher/administrator — and never worked in business in his life.
In case you do not what "Connecticut Innovations" is, here is a blurb from their Connecticut Taxpayer funded website http://ctinnovations.com/about:
"Remember what you were doing in 1989?
We do. It’s the year we were formed by the Connecticut State Legislature to help promising technology companies get off the ground.
Fast-forward 20 years. Today, CI is the leading source of financing and ongoing support for Connecticut’s innovative, growing companies. With the addition of our Small Business Innovation Team in 2009 and our merger with the Connecticut Development Authority—the state’s lender—in 2012, CI now proudly serves great Connecticut companies, no matter what stage of growth they’re in."
It is funny to me as a taxpayer to see how bad our state economy has evolved into since 1989 and since the founding of Connecticut Innovations.  I do not see more jobs for our state since 1989.  I do not see many businesses moving into our state.  I do not see more business tax revenues being developed in our state. 
I do see political cronyism at its best with the hiring of former Democrat State Senator Gary LeBeau of East Hartford who was a public school teacher and administrator and received a $75,000 no bid consulting contract from them.
Why?  Why was this man with no business experience hired as a consultant?
Obviously he paid his Connecticut Democratic Party dues and deserves such a position.
Maybe we should eliminate funding for Connecticut Innovations since it appears to me there is little economic innovation here in Connecticut except for an archaic and Democrat based politically inept economic policies that have bankrupted the state since 1989.
This political hack did not deserve this contract.  It is yet another insult for Connecticut Taxpayers.
It is Time To Take Back Connecticut in November.
Vote for a Republican majority in the State House and State Senate in November.

Connecticut's Labor Day-Connecticut's Taxpayers Must Keep Working To Support Our Ruling Political Elite

Happy Labor Day.  For Connecticut Taxpayers they must keep working.  And keep working.  And keep working.  No matter what time or day or holiday.  While our Governor flies around the country raising cash for his Democrat Party and uses it any way he pleases many Connecticut Taxpayers must keep working on Monday to pay their bills especially their Connecticut tax bills.  One of the highest tax burdens in the country.  Taxes and unlimited spending are part of the Connecticut Democrat Party way of life.  As much as the realization is setting in that the Connecticut Democrat Party is bracing themselves for huge defeats on a state level in November (except in the cities where they know the election can be manipulated) the Connecticut Democrat Party still feels there is a revenue not a spending problem in the state.
The new fiscal 2016-17 state budget is riddled with deficits.  Money has been constantly spent around the Constitutional State Budget Cap by our elected officials even in this new fiscal year.  And the states money has run out again in my opinion even before the fiscal year has begun.  This is the economic reality and economic record that any Democrat State Representative or State Senator is running for election or re-election on.  Out-of-control state spending of Connecticut Taxpayer's monies along with constant tax increases is the Connecticut Democrat Party platform.  And yet they try to blame the Connecticut Republican Party for their fiscal mess. 
Connecticut has evolved into a state of excessive burdens created by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  High taxes, an artificially high socialistic price control system for beer, wine and spirits, a horrific and decaying infrastructure, high unemployment taxes for businesses, a taxpayers funded pension system that has no financial caps or limits and a broken and corrupted political system that defies any logic.
Many Connecticut Taxpayers can not wait to move out of state.  A recent survey showed four out of ten state residents want out.  To me that speaks volumes of the horrific economic and tax policies that the Connecticut Democrat Party have inflicted upon our state.  Enough is enough.
For those Connecticut Taxpayers who must work this Labor Day think about how Connecticut's economically irrational omnipotent one party rule system has damaged the state.
And think about voting for those brave Republican candidates for State Representative and State Senate who are willing to fight to take back our state from the economic morass and political corruption that defines the Connecticut Democrat Party this election.
It is Time To Take Back Connecticut in November.

The Never Ending Clinton Political Scandals-President Trump

I have always stated that history repeats itself.  In the history of our country I have seen it happen numerous times.  In my opinion we are reliving a time frame of 1964 to 1974 with civil unrest, war, and political corruption.
Political corruption in 2016 is investigated and reported upon by our media in a much different fashion than it was back in the 1972 to 1974 time frame.  President Nixon and his Watergate cover up led to Nixon's resignation on August 9, 1974.  Watergate for those too young to remember involved a far reaching probe of the wiretapping of the Democratic National Committee Party headquarters and its subsequent cover up by both Nixon and several members of his administration.  I remember reading and watching the daily hearings and speculation as to what occurred.  In my eyes it was a complex crisis that was difficult to follow and understand yet I tried my best by reading the each week Time, Newsweek, US News and World Report, New Times, National Review and the daily papers.  It was the time before 24/7/365 non stop news programs like have we have today.  In my opinion the difference today is the media bias has underscored the seriousness of the Hillary Clinton email server scandal, has shunned any investigation into a supposed non profit Clinton foundation racket and refuses to look at any connections of the selling of the Hillary Clinton Secretary of States office in proportion to donations to the Clinton Foundation with certain pieces of laws/legislation/deals that occurred during that time period.
Watergate was a horrific time in my opinion in our nation's history.
The Clinton scandals that are being suppressed at this time are a horrific time in our nation's history.
And history is repeating itself again.
Nixon.  Clinton.  An abuse and disregard for power.   Nixon at least resigned from what he did.
Hillary Clinton may be given even more corrupted power by possibly being elected President, thus showing our country and world that the American set of rules and laws are not applicable to this individual.  An individual who with her family has been able to manipulate the highest office in the land to their personal financial gain and power while putting the nation at risk.  The Clinton family empire takes priority over the well being and security of America.  America is the Clinton family conquest of territory as they dictate their recklessness and total disregard for law to enhance their empire.  Sort of like a King and Queen of a country.
Has America regressed this far backwards to allow for this to happen?  Are we now a Monarchy?  A Dictatorship?  Why can't Taxpayers and voters of our country get answers?
I see the answer.   The answer is a change in who runs the White House.  The answer is in following the United States Constitution.  The answer is in electing a man who is not a paid professional politician but a successful businessman. 
The choice is there and it is not the Clinton Empire.
President Trump.  It is time to take back America from the Clinton Family trail of corruption, deception and theft.

Your Connecticut Taxpayers Monies At Work

Connecticut's remaining taxpayers work hard each day and night paying their taxes.  We pay an excessively high rate in state income taxes, state sales taxes, business taxes, user fees and licenses, secret gross earnings taxes on gasoline, excise taxes and miscellaneous nuisance taxes.  For our efforts the Democrat controlled State House and State Senate runs a constant budget deficit year-in and year-out a mere $1 Billion dollars in over spending.  Since the Utopian State Income Tax was passed in 1991, the Democrat controlled State House and State Senate has increased spending by 200% from a $7 Billion dollar budget in 1991 to over $20 Billion dollars in 2016.  Connecticut's short and long term funded and unfunded liabilities are from $70 to $80 Billion dollars also in 2016. 
This is the record that the Connecticut Democrats are running on for election and re election this November.  They have had thirty years of running Connecticut and they have successfully brought Connecticut to its economic ruin.  Connecticut as we know ranks last in many economic categories such as business development, economic freedom and tax rates.  Connecticut's economic vibrancy continues to erode daily due to the Connecticut Democrat Party and their irrational, illogical and detrimental economic policies.  There should be more to the State of Connecticut budget than just an overpaid management work force whose only concern is getting more and more politically created taxpayer funded positions so as to accumulate unheard of salaries, benefits and a never ending pension to those who pay their Democrat political dues.
Again this is the record that the Connecticut Democrats are running on for election and re election this November.   It is horrific.
Connecticut has been led too long by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Their tax and spend policies make no economic sense any more.  They can no longer govern in any way, shape or form.
The Connecticut Democrat Party can be seen at work through their failed taxpayer funded baseball park in Hartford, their protection of unions at all costs and Dan Malloy's illegal campaign mailer just to name a few debacles.   In my opinion the list is endless.
It is Time To Take Back Connecticut in November.  Connecticut Taxpayers have reached a dead end with the Connecticut Democrat Party and their failed policies.  It is time for new leadership and an end to one party rule.  It is time to give the Connecticut Republican Party a chance to lead and govern Connecticut and to bring back economic vibrancy to what was once an economically dynamic state.  The cesspool of leadership that defines the Connecticut Democrat Party needs to be flushed out once and fall all in order for Connecticut to survive.
Vote Republican in November.
