RE: Sununu's tax priorities: millionaires 108, middle class 1

DA: April 15, 2008

As families across New Hampshire mail in their tax returns today, the middle class faces significant challenges:

• Food costs rising fastest in 17 years - Food Costs Rising at Fast Clip, Squeezing Poor, Forcing Food Vendors to Explain Higher Prices [Associated Press, 4/14/08]

• State's rise in rent among nation's highest [Nashua Telegraph, 4/11/08]

• Gasoline prices could hit $3.50 per gallon by Memorial Day [Foster's Daily Democrat, 3/18/08]

While the middle class faces a tight squeeze, John E. Sununu's Washington priorities are clear: he believes millionaires are 108 times more important than middle class families.

• Between 2001-2006, New Hampshire millionaires have received $108 in tax breaks from George Bush and John Sununu for every $1 that has gone to the middle class. [Tax Policy Center, Brookings Institution, November 2006]

John Sununu's stance: millionaires 108, middle class 1.
