Yesterday, in a desperate act of political posturing, liberal U.S Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) voted to oppose his own extreme, job-killing Internal Revenue Service (IRS) paperwork mandate, contained in the very health care overhaul bill that he voted in favor of earlier this year. In March, Bingaman eagerly voted for the Democrats’ costly, unpopular health care overhaul, which requires all businesses, charities, and state and local governments to file IRS 1099 forms each time they purchase $600 or more in goods, including routine expenses like office supplies. According to the National Taxpayer Advocate Service, the Democrats’ cumbersome IRS paperwork mandate will slam more than 40 million American businesses, including 26 million sole proprietorships, with higher costs, further limiting their ability to create jobs for Americans during our nation’s economic downturn. “Jeff Bingaman’s vote yesterday only reminds New Mexicans that he ignored their views and eagerly rammed President Barack Obama’s costly,…
Sherrod Brown Blocks Bipartisan Effort To Repeal Job-Killing IRS Mandate In Democrat Health Care Overhaul
In a harsh blow to Ohio’s families and job creators, liberal U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) yesterday voted in favor of an extreme, job-killing Internal Revenue Service (IRS) paperwork mandate contained in the Democrats’ costly, unpopular health care overhaul. With Brown’s refusal to join all voting Republicans and 21 Democrat Senators in opposing the mandate, the Democrats’ health care law requires all businesses, charities, and state and local governments to file IRS 1099 forms each time they purchase $600 or more in goods, including routine expenses like office supplies. According to the National Taxpayer Advocate Service, Brown’s cumbersome IRS paperwork mandate will slam more than 40 million American businesses, including 26 million sole proprietorships, with higher costs, further limiting their ability to create jobs for Americans during our nation’s economic downturn. Notably, Ohio’s unemployment rate today stands at 9.9 percent, higher than the national average. “Thanks to Sherrod Brown’s out-of-touch…
Bob Casey Blocks Bipartisan Effort To Repeal Job-Killing IRS Mandate In Democrat Health Care Overhaul
In a harsh blow to Pennsylvania’s families and job creators, liberal U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) yesterday voted in favor of an extreme, job-killing Internal Revenue Service (IRS) paperwork mandate contained in the Democrats’ costly, unpopular health care overhaul. With Casey’s refusal to join all voting Republicans and 21 Democrat Senators in opposing the mandate, the Democrats’ health care law requires all businesses, charities, and state and local governments to file IRS 1099 forms each time they purchase $600 or more in goods, including routine expenses like office supplies. According to the National Taxpayer Advocate Service, Casey’s cumbersome IRS paperwork mandate will slam more than 40 million American businesses, including 26 million sole proprietorships, with higher costs, further limiting their ability to create jobs for Americans during our nation’s economic downturn. “Thanks to Bob Casey’s out-of-touch Washington agenda, Pennsylvania’s small businesses will have to spend their time and money filling…
After Backing Anti-Coal Party Boss, Manchin Prepares To Break Yet Another Campaign Pledge
Just days after voting for anti-coal liberal Harry Reid (D-NV) as Senate Majority Leader, and in doing so breaking a campaign pledge to support a Leader who would support West Virginia, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) stands poised to break yet another key promise he made to West Virginia voters. As an embattled candidate on the campaign trail, Manchin vowed to oppose any tax increases and expressed his support for an extension of all the Bush tax cuts. As the Charleston Gazette reported in September: The governor, who has tried to distance himself from Obama’s policies, said no one should face higher taxes in uncertain economic times. Instead, he said, the federal government should look for efficiencies… While attending a pro-coal rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C., Manchin also told Fox News that he “wouldn’t raise any taxes.” But despite this promise, the Charleston Gazette reports that Manchin now says he…
McCaskill Sides With President Obama To Slam Missourians With Massive Tax Hikes
Despite her desperate attempts to distract voters from her liberal support for President Barack Obama’s job-killing economic agenda in Washington, U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) confirmed on Sunday that she will continue to support her party leaders’ attempts to impose a massive tax hike on Missouri families and job creators in the midst of high unemployment and a weak economy. McCaskill told Fox News’ Chris Wallace yesterday that she supports tax hikes for some Americans, stating, “I think we should draw the line in the sand for millionaires… that’s where we should draw the line.” What McCaskill failed to mention is that this would also include massive tax hikes on many Missouri small business owners at a time of continued economic uncertainty. McCaskill’s position also places her to the left of Missouri’s recently defeated Democrat Senate hopeful, Secretary of State Robin Carnahan (D-MO), who said in August that she would…
After Rubberstamping Failed Obama Stimulus, Does Claire McCaskill Agree With President That $787 Billion Debacle “Exceeded” Expectations?
Despite the fact that the nation’s unemployment rate today stands at 9.6 percent, well above the Obama Administration’s projected maximum of 8 percent, President Barack Obama’s Counsel of Economic Advisors (CEA) boasted yesterday that the Democrats’ failed $787 billion stimulus debacle, which U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) voted for, “has exceeded the original goal.” As the Associated Press reports: The White House says the $800 billion stimulus law passed in the early days of the Obama administration continues to improve economic conditions and increase employment. President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers issued a report Thursday concluding that the contentious law that targeted the recession has been a significant factor in the recovery … Unemployment, however, is 9.6 percent.
