Patch's Head-Line Story

I am sure you have read the lead article in today's Patch, but did you really read into it?  The head-lines leads one to believe it is about the economy and inequality gap in CT.  It also refers to 4 groups pushing their agenda and 3 bills in front of the legislation looking for passage.

First, all one has to do is look at these orgainzations and what their political agenda's are.  Look at the Working Family Party (WFP).  The WFP is nothing more then a front group for ACORN.  We all know what they are all about politically.  Next you have the CT Citizens Action Group (CCA).  Gee, founded by Ralph Nadar and Toby Moffett some years back. What could their political agenda be?  No one needs to be told what Moveon.org is all about.  Forget the SEIU people, again we know what their about.  All extreme liberal socialist orgainzations.

Now look at the 3 bills mentioned in the story.  HB-5069 will mandate that certain employers pay a fee to the Labor dept. for each employee that receives a wage below the standard rate pre-determined by state statutes.  In other words a way to "fine' or "tax" these companies. Also another way to drive business out of the State.  HB-5241, all this is a bill to form a study group regarding paying off Collage Debts.  SB--249, Establish a State run retirement plan for low income wage earners.  Don't we already have that, called Social Security.  Just more money taken from what little pay earned now.  

Just my opinion.
