Not sure if anyone lives in Connecticut or is enough of a loser as I am to have listened to the debate last night.

I don't know if the polls are still as close on this one between Congressman Murphy and Linda McMahon but it was frightening how much more polished and prepared the Congressman was last night. Similar to Romney-Obama 1.

Similar to how the Governor knew all of the President's talking points better than the President himself did, Murphy nailed McMahon on the issue of Tax Cut/Credits leading to jobs.

McMahon noted that in 1999, their company received a $20 Million Tax Credit from the State of Connecticut. She contended that they created jobs with that. Murphy had pulled the records on WWE and found that in the same year this Credit was received, they had cut, net net, over 100 jobs. McMahon made a $40 Million salary that year.

I'm surprised that liberals don't take this tact more often. If the contention is that tax credits save or create jobs, prove it. As an employee of a company that has fleeced Connecticut myself, I think all it does is bribe companies to stay where they are.
