Holds Conference Call With Obama Campaign But Can’t Explain How Buffett Tax Will Create Wisconsin Jobs Or Lower Gas Prices
As Madison liberal Tammy Baldwin spends the day flacking for President Obama and his far-left tax policies on a campaign conference call, it’s worth noting what she won’t be saying to reporters on the other end of the line.
A quick run-down of what Tammy Baldwin will not be saying today:
- How many jobs the Buffett Tax will create
- How the Buffett Tax will ease the pain at the pump
- How she’s never met a tax increase she didn’t like – she’s voted 135 times in favor of higher taxes
- How she’s voted for every Congressional Progressive Caucus Budget, except one, since being in Congress
- She stood to the left of President Obama and voted against the 2010 tax compromise
- How the Wall Street Journal called the Buffett Rule a ruse
- Or how the WSJ said it would raise less than 1/10 of 1% of the $1.2 trillion budget deficit
- How she believes ObamaCare, with its hundreds of new taxes, didn’t go far enough
- How she’s received an “F” from the National Taxpayers Union every year since 2004
“Tammy Baldwin hasn’t met a tax increase she didn’t like,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Spokesman Lance Trover. “The one thing you will not hear Tammy Baldwin say today, as she pushes a tax plan the Wall Street Journal has dubbed a ‘ruse’ is how many jobs it will create and how it will ease American’s pain at the pump.”
