Sign the petition to protest Governor Malloy's income tax increase

Sign the petition to protest the recent Connecticut income tax increase, hiking middle class tax rates by as much as 34%, while only raising taxes on taxable incomes over $500,000 by only 3%!

Senate Bill No. 1239 raises the Connecticut income tax rates on the middle class by as much as 34%, but only increases the income tax rate on taxable incomes over $500,000 by a mere 3%.  Why do the rich get this teeny weeny increment at the huge expense of the middle class?  Is the middle class being singled out to bear the burden of the new budget of Connecticut Governor Dannell Malloy?  Why do Governor Dan Malloy's neighbors in Fairfield County--all those Fortune 500 CEOs who earn $12 million per year--only get a 3% increase in their highest marginal tax rate while the middle class wage earner's highest marginal tax rate increases by as much as 34%?!

If you are tired of the rich paying so little in taxes, resulting in these huge deficits and cuts in social services, including education, and layoffs, then it's time for you to speak up and let the Governor know.

Let our Connecticut legislators know that you do not approve about the upper class tax breaks at the expense of the middle class and that you are onto their shenanigans.

Yes, it's class warfare, and as Warren Buffett has said, the rich are winning.
