Tax the 1% for our Nation....

This is a petition to stop Jindal from trying to change there retirement benefits . This plan is no different then the President of the United States wanting to raise the taxes on only the rich. They are both picking on a group who's numbers can't add up to enough to have an effect on there political party's . In a response to me from Jindal he stated that a hike in State taxes is not an option. So what does he want to do , nothing more then tax his State workers . I ask every one how would you like it if your company deceided to just take a certain amount out of you pay . Please back our State workers

It's about the spoils system which allows the party in majority to hire & fire employees "at will". The Civil Service keeps professional state, county & city workers with rights that allow acceptable procedures for hiring & firing of employees. Chaos in the government starts with elimination of logical & professional rules by management & employee associations. When the newly elected politicians can hire their family & friends, & fire the professional workers can you imagine the corruption and waste that would ensue. The Civil Service laws were made to protect the public and the State.

tell our leaders that they work for us!!!!

Last week, Rep. Allen West voted for the Republican Ryan Budget. This disastrous federal budget privatizes Medicare, cuts Medicaid, and reduces funding for Pell Grants and SNAP. Both of these programs help kids from working-class backgrounds.

Too many big corporations outsource their jobs and bring their product back for us to buy. Let companies like P&G, GE, Walmart and Apple know that we only want products and services that support American jobs!

Top ceo pay must be tied to how good they are at creating full-time jobs and supplying health care and be in line with what all other employees get paid. Ceo's can only make 50 times what their lowest paid full-time employee makes. Companies can only have 20% non-full time employees. This will create jobs by making ceo's earn they pay in ways that matter to our nation.

Its about the city trying to get a toll road between 152, highway 5 etc. Then on top of that charge the people a transportation tax. Plus we already pay taxes for road repairs etc. This is triple the taxes etc for citizens. There is unemployment, people losing their homes and the gas prices are sky high. How is this suppose to help the citizens of Los Banos and surrounding areas.

because it supports all our services, why stop it, and some of us who are retired could not afford the additional realesate taxes it would put on us

There are those of us who feel it is time to move forward. Time for a change in the way we think and take care of our state.

He is not concerned with the company or its employees. He believes, less service, lowing our ontime status on mail. Will help the Post Office to build the business. He sides with Congressman Issa, who is the richest man on the hill. He believes decreasing service and not allowing the employees to have protection from nanagement is the way to go. The P/m wants to close many offices and plants. This will cause empolyees to move in some cases out of the state. There at least 6 jobs for every postal job in the civilian market. The city of Lexington could loose revenue of over 30 million dollars a year due to the closing of the plant according to some studies. The city of Cincy city leaders have saved their plant from closing. Why did Lexington fight? Huh mayor?

The petition is to have the government that we voted help us in Connecticut reduce these taxes and help the people that voted them in. Education should be the number one thing in their mind, reducing the taxes, and helping the people move forward.
