WHY WE NEED TO SPEAK TO GOVERNMENT ABOUT ENERGY TAXES

Both Washington and Hartford are Considering Massive Tax Hikes on Energy. These Tax Hikes Will Harm Every Family, Every Job and Everyone in This State and The Country

We Need To Speak To Those Who Represent Us In Hartford and in Washington TODAY!


  • As if the cost of living in Connecticut isn’t high enough!  Last summer politicians were wringing their hands over high-energy costs. Now Hartford wants to tax heating fuels and make heating your home more expensive. They’re even considering more gasoline taxes!

  • Hartford wants to extend NEW taxes to things that aren’t taxed. And then REPEAL tax exemptions on things it doesn’t tax now – like heating fuels, prescription drugs, food…

  • HAD ENOUGH?

TELL HARTFORD LOUDLY AND CLEARLY:
“NO TAXES ON HEATING FUELS –
NO NEW TAXES ON MOTOR FUELS!”

  • MEANWHILE, WASHINGTON WANTS TO TAX OIL AND NATURAL GAS, TOO!   Washington has proposed tax increases on oil and natural gas that will increase the cost of living for every single family in America.

DOES GOVERNMENT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE
AVERAGE AMERICAN IS GOING THROUGH?

  • The new Federal budget calls for a “cap-and-trade” scheme that will add more than $600 billion in new energy taxes! This is not the fiscal responsibility we were promised and these unprecedented taxes will have devastating effects on an already struggling American economy. Increasing taxes on oil and natural gas will...

    • Stifle economic recovery 

    • Cost thousands of American jobs each year

    • Increase consumer prices for home heating fuels

    • Reduce investment in new domestic energy supplies

    • Reduce local, state, and federal revenue

  • TELL CONGRESS: STOP TAX INCREASES ON ENERGY   Call Washington today. Tell them taxing energy is the wrong direction for our families, our jobs, and our future.
