What Has Mary Mushinsky Done For You Lately?

What has Mary Mushinsky done for you lately? If you live in Wallingford and she represents you, what has she done for you lately? Has she raised your taxes? Made your public water costs go up? Increased benefits and unfunded liabilities for state employees while your pays are stagnant or are going down? Help create a hostile business climate through excessive workers compensation costs, high taxes and petty litigation? The list to me as a taxpayer is endless. She has no ability to supposedly represent the people who put her into office one too many times. She has her own liberal agenda which is out of touch with economic reality in 2010. She needs to be voted out of office once and for all.
Mike Vitali will actually represent you and your best interests economically. He understands why his generation is fleeing our state. He understands that we need more not less businesses for our state. He understands that lower taxes spur economic growth. What has Mary Mushinsky done for you lately? Not much in my economic opinion. Vote for Mike Vitali in Wallingford.

Why Continue To Vote For Democrats? Why More Economic Ruin?

Just curious, why do voters keep voting for Democrats in a state of one party rule? Connecticut to me seems to have massive economic problems which do not seem to go away. And the lack of solutions by the super majority ruling Democrat party in Hartford is frightening. Simplistic ideas of pushing line items off budget, saving monies by magic and the impending tax increases all spell more economic doom for our state. I ask again why do voters keep voting for Democrats in a state of one party rule? The Connecticut State Legislature seems to be a complete waste of taxpayer's monies. Nothing gets done except the passage of frivolous laws, massive increases in pet spending programs, nepotism hires at state agencies, and massive tax increases all help to create our economic nightmare for Connecticut. An economically illiterate governed state thanks to this super majority. Why let it continue any more?
November 2nd voters have a chance to end this regime. Vote this election for the Republican party and their economically wise candidates such as Tom Foley for Governor, Jeff Wright for State Treasurer, Jerry Farrell for Secretary of State, Martha Dean for Attorney General, Jack Orchulli for Controller, and Linda McMahon for United States Senator. Vote for Republican candidates for State Representative and State Senate. If you have had enough, then vote for these strong leaders for a change.

Vitali Wins Debate By Far And Wide In Wallingford

Mike Vitali by far and wide won the debate last night in Wallingford against Mary Mushinsky. Mike by far and wide needs to become our new State Representative in Wallingford's 85th District. Mushinsky by her lack of responses to jobs and the economy shows Wallingford taxpayers how out of touch with economic reality she is and how she is just focused on her own liberal agenda only which continues to force business and citizens out of our state. Mr. Vitali talked about the economy and jobs, he stated that business should not be treated like the enemy. And yet this is the same enemy that the Connecticut Democratic party loves to extract money from come election time. They hate business and industry yet want their campaign contributions.
It is this hypocrisy that proves that Mushinsky has been in office way too long, has completely lost touch with the taxpayers she supposedly represents and has absolutely no plan for economic growth in our community.
Mr. Vitali was no competition for the liberally tired current State Representative. He won the debate and he will go on to win the election in a few days. He can and will represent taxpayers in Wallingford's 85th District. It time for Mike Vitali and his leadership for our community. Vote for him and the Republican team this November.

Connecticut One Party Rule - Why?

Why do we have one party rule in Connecticut? Why do voters keep going back to Democrat candidates who have no idea how to govern, how to lead, how to be frugal with taxpayer's monies, how to cut spending, how to be business friendly and how to actually be honest with taxpayers? Thus, why do we have one party rule in Connecticut?
Our state under the leadership of the Democratic super majority since the passing of the state income tax has become a vast wasteland of unlimited and non productive state spending programs. This coupled with a mass flight of both businesses and our youth fleeing our state at any chance they get. There is little economic future in our state because of this one party rule. We have a massive budget deficit, massive unfunded future liabilities, massive inefficiencies in state government, massive taxes and massive bureaucratic burdens to the remaining businesses left here. And the blame needs to placed squarely upon the Democratic super majority for their ineptness and fraudulent way of running our state. We as taxpayers deserve better. The Donovans, Mushinskys and Blumenthals, just to name a few, all have contributed greatly to our demise.
We do have a choice. End Connecticut's one party rule in November, vote Republican for a change.

The Blumenthal Death Penalty Folly-Vote For Linda

And the list of reasons to vote against Richard Blumenthal for United States Senator does not end. Besides not understanding how jobs are created he also does not understand the concept of capital punishment. When the career politician was a State Senator he basically stonewalled movement on a functional death penalty for Connecticut. This has been reported on National Review online by both Brian Bolduc and Tom Scott 10/15 and 10/16/10 www.nationalreview.com . Because of his view and other Democrats, on May 2, 1990, the state senate took up H.B. 5542, which would have required a court to issue the death penalty if the aggravating factors outweighed the mitigating factors, thus the death penalty for the guilty party. Blumenthal now forgets that he spoke against the bill and helped to kill the bill. We now have with the infamous Petit murder trial the results of his and fellow Democrats stonewalling of 20 years ago, the legal fight against the death penalty for both of these murderers and the plea of taxpayers supported life in prison sentence. I wonder how fast the death penalty would be enacted if a famous Connecticut Democrats family was murdered in cold blood?
I personally am sick of career liberal politicians who have no sense of any reality of life whatsoever. I am personally sick of the lies of Richard Blumenthal. It is time for Linda McMahon to become our next Senator. Vote for Linda in this election.

Another Reason to Elect Mike Vitali For Wallingford's State Representative

Yet even more reasons to elect Mike Vitali for State Representative in Wallingford's 85th District. Our current tax and spend State Representative Mushinsky pushed for new stream flow regulations during dry months back beginning in 2005. The legislation that she help passed will bring a mere $10 million dollars in new costs for the town of Wallingford since we get the bulk of our water from reservoirs. New infrastructure would have to be built and our water flow would drop dramatically, thus massive increase in costs of water. Why do we need these additional costs since everything is working well at this time? Do all taxpayers in Wallingford know of her employment with the Quinnipiac River Watershed Association as the executive director. Thus there is no conflict of interest here? She should not have any business dealing with this legislation she helped to pass.
Again just another example of Mushinsky's tax and spend policies being rammed down the throats of taxpayers in Wallingford. Who will pay for these $10 million in improvements? You and me the Wallingford water users, you and me the Wallingford taxpayers.
This blatant disregard for the people she supposedly represents is just yet another reason we need Mike Vitali as our new State Representative in Wallingford's 85th District. Vote for him in November and vote for the entire Republican ticket, enough taxation without representation at all levels of government.

How Does Dick Blumenthal Create Jobs With His Friends?

Tell me how does Dick Blumenthal create jobs? Especially with all of the business friends he has made being Attorney General? How did Blumenthal create any jobs? He has help to destroy the business climate in Connecticut. How can this be qualifications to becoming a United States Senator? What does he actually know about the economy? In my economic opinion absolutely nothing. He knows nothing of private sector job formation through the free market system and economic growth. He knows nothing of the struggles of small businesses throughout the state facing economic turmoil due to his Democratic high tax and anti business platforms. His search and destroy methods have caused more long term economic harm to our state than any past Attorney General. And he is not in any way qualified to be a United States Senator with the horrific record he has.
Voters need to send a clear message to the elite Democratic party of Connecticut. Blumenthal has nothing to offer but lies and falsehoods.
Voters will elect Linda McMahon for our new Senator in November. It is really time to end this ruling elite.

The Economic Stupidity Marches On

Why would a taxpayer vote for Rosa "communist" DeLauro instead of Jerry Labriola in the Third Congressional District? Why would a taxpayer for vote for Dick "anti-business" Blumenthal instead of Linda McMahon for Connecticut Senator? Why would a Wallingford voter vote for Mary "tax and spend" Mushinsky instead of Mike Vitale for State Representative?
The economic stupidity marches on and on and on. When will taxpayers understand that the Democratic party and in particular these three individuals have done a great deal to damage our economy through their anti business, tax and spend policies. Why would you want to vote for them? Why do you wish to damage your economic future? Wake up voters before your economic freedom is totally lost.

Why Do We Keep Electing This Woman? Dump DeLauro

Why do we keep electing Rosa DeLauro in Connecticut's Third Congressional District? The district that I live in? Besides being anti business, embraces socialized medicine, embraces constant tax increases, she is also a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus which embraces its close ties with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), and the Communist Party.
We can also remember DeLauro embracing Communist Party Head Joelle Fishman on the front page of New Haven Register a few weeks back. That should make all of the veterans in her district be happy she is representing them through her avowed socialist themes, plans and laws. Just look at her record for the past twenty years. While we as taxpayers have been supporting her socialistic/communistic views, we have seen the self destruction of Connecticut especially in her district. Where are the business and industry that used to be in our district? Where are the jobs? Why is there still massive decline and debris in New Haven after twenty years of her rule? What has happened to our state and district? Look no further than to Rosa DeLauro and her brutal agenda stripping away freedom and the free market capitalistic system in her district. Enough is enough. Taxpayers have had enough of her communistic/socialistic views. Vote Jerry Labriola in November

Wallingford Needs Mike Vitali

Wallingford needs Mike Vitali as its new State Representative. Mr. Vitali needs to replace the stale and failed liberal policies of Mary Mushinsky who has been in office too long. Her policies and those of her fellow Democrats in Hartford have helped to create the economic stagnation in Connecticut, help to drive out our young citizens from the state, drive business from our state and help to create the massive amount of unfunded liabilities taxpayers are now responsible for. Enough is enough of her tax and spend policies which do nothing for the betterment of our state. Taxpayers are fed up with her constant votes for increases in taxes and anti business policies.
Mike Vitali's focused plans of lower state spending, lower taxes and pro business policies are what is needed to start to stimulate our economy. We can ill afford another two years of Mushinsky's failed policies and lack of common sense to our current economic issues.
It is time to vote for Mike Vitali in Wallingford as our new State Representative.

Democratic Troubles

There is a great deal of trouble on the horizon for the Democratic party on both state and national level. The years of poor/non existent leadership, failed programs, failed economic policies, excessive taxation, corruption, greed, excessive state and national debt have all taken a toll on voters and taxpayers of our state and country.
Enough is enough. Common sense and honesty does not exist in Hartford and Washington. Change in a corrupt fashion occured at both levels of government. And there is a great deal of animosity and mistrust of government. We are sick of the lies.
The election in November is fast approaching. Voters and taxpayers have had enough. It is time to elect leaders who can actual lead.
Vote for Mike Vitale for State Representative In Wallingford, Dave Yaccarino for State Representative 87th District in North Haven, Jerry Labriola for United States House of Representatives and Linda McMahon for United States Senator. This time really vote for change.

Clinton Can't Save Blumenthal-Senator McMahon

Bill Clinton can't save Dick Blumenthal. Dick Blumenthal has done enough damage to our state as Attorney General that even the supposed savior, Bill Clinton can't save him. There is not much to get excited about Dick Blumenthal. He is arrogant, has a large ego, lies, is anti-business, is anti-economic growth, and has not offered any platforms as a candidate for Senator. He is probably the worse candidate the Democrats could run this year in Connecticut. As much as the Democrats will start their smear campaign against Linda McMahon it will not work due to her economic plan of action when she becomes Senator. She is articulate and has a pro business, pro economic growth platform that she is running on. Dick Blumenthal is running on air, a great deal of rhethoric and lies.
Linda McMahon will win in November. Connecticut taxpayers and voters have had enough of the damage that Dick Blumenthal has inflicted upon our state. He will be gone in a few months and hopefully we have seen the last of his turmoil brought to Connecticut taxpayers.

Czech President Vaclav Klaus Stands Up To The United Nations

Czech President Vaclav Klaus stood up to the United Nations in his comments telling the UN to get out of economics. In his brilliant response on economics to Swiss President of the General Assembly, Joseph Deiss, he stated that national governments should be in charge of their economies and that to resolve the global economic crisis did not need more super global agencies like the UN is proposing. Klaus stated,
"On the contrary, this is the time for international organizations, including the United Nations, to reduce their expenditures, make their administrations thinner, and leave the solutions to the governments of member states,".
Well stated President Klaus, who is a free market economist. The United Nations has proven time and time again that it can not solve any issue and is just a large, bloated bureaucracy that wastes United States taxpayers dollars in my economic opinion. It is corrupt and economically not needed in 2010. We all should listen to Czech President Vaclav Klaus.

Your Household Net Worth Has Dropped Again

Did you notice that your household net worth has dropped again? Did you notice that in most cases your are receiving .10% on bank savings/checking accounts? Did you notice your taxes go up again on a local, state and federal level? Did you notice your income has become stagnant (at one college that I teach at I have not gotten a raise in eight years)? Did you notice that credit is still brutal to obtain? Did you notice that the Obama administration has stated repeatedly that the recession is over? Or is it? Did you notice the mood of taxpayers in our country?
Recent economic statistics again have pointed to another drop in personal and household net worth. Your assets have once again decreased due to the lack of pro business, anti-tax and pro economic growth polices which are formulated in Washington. The economic policies coming out of Washington are childish, elementary and feeble. They are also illogical as once again pro Keynesian spending policies are failing our economy and creating mountainous debt for our future. All in the name of political expediency and political gain.
Did you notice that your household net worth has dropped again? Please take even more notice when you vote in November.

The Political Pureness Of Economic Illiteracy

There is a pureness to the economic illiteracy that I see at all levels of government. Elected political officials who act like they know everything about how the economy works and then make stupid economically illiterate remarks to go along with their equally stupid economically illiterate programs they force down upon businesses and taxpayers in our economy.
Let us look at some examples of this economic illiteracy in action. On a state level we have a massive budget deficit along a massive amount of unfunded pension liabilities. The Democratic super majority decides to move false accounting figures around and the net result is that they supposedly take credit for a balanced budget? How this is possible is beyond me. Connecticut is broke and one of the highest taxed states in the country.
The Federal economic nightmare is much more complex and I personally do not have enough time to write about all the economic corruption and economic illiteracy that goes on in Washington. Some highlights are an Obama economic stimulus program which has increased the national debt, done nothing other than increase unemployment, done nothing other than be a ticket to raise taxes on all who work and paid favorites to those who politically align themselves with this administration. What is the federal governments plan to balance the budget, pay for unfunded liabilities and pay off the national debt? Economic federal illiteracy at its best. Sort of like the supposed economic qualifications of Dick Blumenthal to become our Senator when he has not worked a day in his life and taxpayers have supported him and his ruthless anti business, anti economy nature his entire career. Sort of like Rosa DeLauro and her embracing a communist and voting for every tax increase and massive spending plan that has come her way in her years of non productivity in Washington. Sort of like Chris Dodd and his economic gains through his office that he continues to deny and that taxpayers must support him once he leaves office for the rest of his life.
There is a pureness to the economic illiteracy that I see daily. And I also see that taxpayers have had enough. I am drinking my tea while writing this-let the party begin by voting these economic illiterate fools out of office in November.

2010 The Year Of Political Upsets

I know it is early but in my economic opinion 2010 will represent the year of political upsets. Upsets at all levels of government, Federal, State and Local. Economics is the driving issue this election at all levels of government. Excessive taxation, poor and inefficient governmental spending, massive government debt, failed Keynesian economic policies, laws which are passed that are unread and unknown as to the non related amendments to the law, earmarks, disrespect to opposing views, disrespect to business, disrespect to our military, no new solutions to economic problems, and a failure to provide a free market economic environment to create jobs and economic growth. These issues are directly attributed those currently in power, the Dodds of the Senate, the DeLauros of the House and the Mushinskys of the State House. All have failed miserably in economic policies which only promote their aristocracy and help to create the serfs they so love to rule.
2010 will be the year of upsets. Linda McMahon has fresh economic views in her run for the Senate. Jerry Labriola has fresh economic views in his run for the House. And Mike Vitali has fresh economic views in his run for the State House. Let us restore our economy to the way it should be: robust, vibrant and growing.

Chris Dodd And His Continuing Socialist Agenda

Our sweetheart mortgage deal Senator Dodd never ceases to amaze me with his outright disregard for the people of Connecticut. Back on his socialistic track since he only has a few more months of supreme power left, he has authored a bill S.1619 titled the “Livable Communities Act.” What a socialists dream! From what I have read about this bill which has been totally ignored by the mainstream media and was brought to my attention by my fellow journalist/economist-The Armchair Economist, davidxjohnson.blogspot.com, the bill focuses on restricted land use, redistribution of wealth and population control. All while the taxpayers will be on the hook for $4 billion of new deficit spending and the development of yet another highly inept and overpaid czar. The arguments that Dodd presents for this bill is that it adds uniformity to control development to save energy and to preserve rural areas. And why do we need this? Aren't local governments responsible for their own land development without federal government interference? All this bill does is mandates the Federal Government to dictate to local governments what can be built on their land, how much land can be used for housing, what types of houses can be built, what types of appliances can go into those homes, and ultimately lead to massive local property tax increases.
Chris Dodd once again has crossed the line with Connecticut taxpayers. He has become a ruthless dictator of socialist programs while allowing himself the economic spoils of his political power. He will be gone in a few months only to have the taxpayers of America support him for the rest of his life. What an economic tragedy that we must endure. Oh and by the way vote Linda McMahon so that Dodd's brother Dick Blumenthal does not start his power grab in the Senate.

The Rhetoric Of Politics

The rhetoric of politics. Rhetoric in the sense that we hear the same old concepts from those in power. For example here in Wallingford, State Representative Mary Mushinsky is proud of her liberal record of tax and spend. It is the same stale rhetoric we hear from her each election. Her liberalism is focused upon the environment and the expansion of Connecticut's welfare state. The rhetoric of her policies has help to create Connecticut's anti-business climate and its excessively high tax rate. In 2010 we hear more of this rhetoric from her as she is concerned about...? Families who can't afford the high taxes she helped to create over the years. It is the same rhetoric over and over again-why do voters keep voting for her?
There is a great deal of rhetoric in our Senate race also as Dick Blumenthal, the slayer of business in our state tries to purchase his Senate seat as a divine right of his political statue here in Connecticut. Blumenthal, totally uncomfortable in his role of trying to understand economic and societal issues as a candidate is miscast. He has lied about his service to our country and is trying to reinvent his boring and abusive political personality. It is truly the same old rhetoric of a failed politician who has never worked a productive day in his life.
I do not hear any rhetoric from Republican Mike Vitale who is running against his rhetorical tax and spend opponent. And Linda McMahon brings a common sense approach to becoming our next Senator breaking apart the Blumenthal good old boys rhetoric club. End the political rhetoric, vote for Linda McMahon and Mike Vitale in November.

Democratic Economic Lies

There are many. Lies that is. From Washington to Hartford to Wallingford. Does Chris Murphy really think Connecticut has turned the corner and is improving? While Connecticut now has the 4th highest unemployment rate in the country? I guess he needs to say that to try to desperately get reelected. Chris Donovan, our do nothing Connecticut House Speaker states that the budget was balanced with no new taxes except for those remaining $1,000,000 income earners (who leave as fast as they can due to these new taxes). What about the billions of unfunded liabilities the state owes? How is that called a balanced budget Mr. Donovan? In Wallingford the Queen of tax and spend Mary Mushinsky is strangely quiet in this campaign, fearful for her political life due to the economic blunders she has forced down the taxpayers of Wallingford and the state. Murphy, Donovan and Mushinsky all show their economic illiteracy by these statements and actions. I guess this is something for Democrats to be proud of, mess up the state's economy to the point of no return and then blame the Republicans. Only in November 2010 voters are no longer buying their continued failed promises of higher spending and higher taxes. Economic Growth. Ruined by Democrats at all levels of government.

The Connecticut Secretary of State Race-Vote Jerry Farrell

The Connecticut Secretary of State race is an interesting one in 2010. We have seen the political self destruction of the current Secretary of State and the current Democratic candidate Denise Merrill is unsure as to what was saved or spent in her current role as House Majority Leader. With the economic debacle that has transpired under her leadership why would you want to vote for her as Secretary of State and keep her on the state's payroll? Why is she qualified to be Secretary of State? Because she is owed a Democratic political favor?
The Republican candidate is the current Consumer Protection Commissioner, Jerry Farrell, Jr. As Commissioner, Mr. Farrell has saved the state a substantial amount of monies by implementing a system consolidating the Department’s records and licensing systems. Once implemented, he asked another agency to abandon its own similar plan and brought that agency into the Consumer Protection Agency system saving taxpayer’s millions of dollars. I wonder how much Denise Merrill has cost the state in her reign? Billions of dollars in my economic opinion. Mr. Farrell also wishes to streamline the Secretary of State's office and make it user friendly for small businesses. He also will consolidate and create cost saving measures for state taxpayers.
I am personally tired of seeing the under ticket for state government be a retirement home for the Democratic party in Connecticut with absolutely no new ideas as to how to run the office. We have a logical choice in November as we have only one candidate who is willing to save taxpayers monies. Vote for Republican Jerry Farrell, Jr. for Secretary of State.
