Stop your begging Deval- Its unbecoming

Stop it Deval. Just stop.

I just had the displeasure of reading your podcast. My suggestion for your new one is to include more substance and less begging. Stop begging the media to get off your back. Stop begging the citizens to embrace your new tax plan. Stop begging the legislature to follow you into the black hole that you're about to make my state by taxing businesses enough that they'll want to pack up and leave.

You talk about stabilizing our economy in your podcast, and obviously the way you think you can accomplish that is on everyone else's back. You're wrong. You talk about the property tax relief rider you have attached to your municipal options bill. It only helps a small population and comes at the cost or raising taxes for businesses in my town. You talk about towns cutting costs by utilizing services used by the state for pensions & healthcare. You could at least give credit to Kerry Healy for stealing her idea.

I can't help but notice that your ugly habit of throwing others under the bus to distract readers & listeners continues in your podcast. This is a nice way to distance yourself from the problems that you need to deal with, and more importantly promised to deal with. North Andover can't afford teachers because of fat bloated pension and fixed costs and the diversion of state funds that they deserved going to pork, fat, patronage and the lack of a stimulated economy. You're going to work on that, right. lets reach for that.

Don't personalize everyone elses pain by pulling that trick of using peoples names and problems. That's cheap and shallow and a transparent way to manipulate people.

I make a good living. I don't have anything new or flashy but I'm not house, car , credit card , HELOC poor. I have a house and 2 respectable cars. But not a lot of disposable income. And guess what Governor Rodney Allen Ripney. My property taxes go up too. It hurts in my wallet. A 200.00 a month increase that got assessed to me this year hurts. And you're ignoring me in your relief bill. That's wrong. And it torques me off. How many people in the 35K a year range are actually going to benefit from your idiotic relief plan? THEY COULD NEVER AFFORD A HOUSE TO BEGIN WITH. And do you think its easy to do it at 70K? No its not. But I don't have a mansion in Milton, a vacation home in the Berkshires and a mansion in Atlanta. I don't have an interior decorator. My wife makes due at Wal-mart and when somethings on sale. I got my furniture at Bobs Discount Furniture. And I make what would be a good wage anywhere else but a living wage in this state.

I'm bringing back a phrase. I can already see the resurrection of 'Taxachusetts'. I remember this one from your campaign and how much you detested it: Taxed back to the Stone Age. Its coming back DeVille. Keep it up.
