Want to do something to create private-sector jobs and bring them more inline with the government sector?

Rolling back taxes is the key.

Voters in Massachusetts have a chance to boost private-sector employment this November 2nd by voting YES on 3 – the statewide ballot initiative to roll back the sales tax to 3%.

Government Bailouts REDUCE private-sector jobs – while protecting and expanding government sector jobs.

Tax cuts CREATE PRIVATE-SECTOR JOBS.

YES on 3 will create over 27,000 productive, sustainable private-sector jobs.

That’s why voting YES on ballot question 3 in November is so important. It’s a rare opportunity to force politicians to do the only thing they can do to create jobs: cut spending and cut taxes!

Please pass on this message to every voter you know in Massachusetts. Thank you.
