Supporting Tax loopholes for big business hurts all of us.

My husband and I are both retired from the Postal Service, because we are federal annuitants we are taxed on our retirement income while Social Security annuitants are not. This unfair pracitce does not only affect federal employees, it also affects state employees and teachers. Many other states do not tax their retirees in this manner when they are at a point of their life when their income is fixes and medical bills have increased.

I am a Wake Technical Community College student. I depend, not unlike many, on my financial assistance from the school. This is not in my best interest or the best interest of any student at this school. It is simply so that the school can save money and the higher-one corp can make money.

We are all stewards of the earth, and it is our responsibility to take care of our land and water. Hydrofracking is inconsistent with that responsibility and should not be allowed anywhere in the State of New York.

Governor Deal has rejected the billions of dollars in federal Medicaid funds available to us through the Healthcare Act. The Medicaid cuts are unnecessarily hurting poor Georgians daily. I see it in my work as a hospice director every day. He is taking a political stance just because he does not want to go along with something President Obama put in place--at the expense of Georgia's most vulnerable citizens. Several red state governors in the US have reneged on their stance against accepting the money. We need to call on Governor Deal to do the same thing---accept the Medicaid money! This is NOT a new thing--we already accept federal Medicaid money. These funds will only work to improve Georgia's healthcare.

Increasing the gas tax on a retail basis will add another 8 to 9 cents a gallon to the cost of gas for Vermonters. This is a regressive tax which will hurt low-income Vermonters who must commute largely by car to get to their jobs. It will also hurt gas station owners along the New Hampshire border where NH gas stations already have a 7 cent a gallon advantage.

There are many self-employed individuals and uninsured people who deserve quality healthcare at a price they can afford.

Innocent people are being shot down on our streets by the thousands.

This is affecting all of us.
