Deeds is a big tax-raiser, has nothing on his web site about jobs, and in fact argues that transportation is more important than jobs.
1) Lower taxes
2) Fiscal restraint (attack Deeds’ push for an unaffordable transportation plan, a tax and spend scheme that flies in the face of fiscal restraint)
3) Avoiding over regulating business
4) Credible incentives to encourage small business growth, entrepreneurship and risk taking, all free market principles that seem to be disappearing in the current economic and political climate
5) Support for offshore oil drilling in VA waters which Deeds does not support
6) Last but not least, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs........
He should refrain from attacking Deeds personally, the same with other Washington dems. He should attack their tired old liberal tax and spend policies that are proven failures that will not grow the economy or create good paying jobs. All Virginians want better transportation, but this is not the time, our economy is in deep trouble, we simply cannot afford it without raising taxes, period. Honest straightforward talk, no Obama-like fluff about green this and green that and bringing our transportation systems into the 22 century, all the while never telling you that he will have to raise your taxes to pay for his plan. Utopia is a wonderful concept, but our priority should be directed at growing our economy and allowing a free market to create credible, long term good paying jobs.
