ANNOUNCER: After Washington wasted billions bailing out Wall Street and the auto industry, our economy is still hurting.
Unemployment is approaching 10 percent.
But Congress and Senator Arlen Specter just doesn’t get it.
Now these politicians in Washington are pushing a new energy tax that would be the largest in history, costing Pennsylvania families $125 a month.
Some estimates have this tax killing 2.4 million American jobs—nearly 100,000 in Pennsylvania alone.
The Pennsylvania unemployment rate is already approaching a 25-year high.
Can we really afford to be hit with higher taxes and more job losses during this recession?
Congress seems to think so.
Call Arlen Specter at 412-644-3400. Tell him Pennsylvania can’t afford the higher energy bills and job losses caused by a new national energy tax.
