Ben Nelson & The Senate Democrats Double-Down On Their Massive Tax Hike On Nebraska Job Creators

What You May Have Missed Last Night…. Despite warnings from virtually every major business organization in the country that it would adversely impact job growth, U.S. Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) once again voted in lockstep with President Obama last night in support of a permanent new tax on Nebraska job creators. “At a time when our country is still working to get our economy back on track, it speaks volumes about Ben Nelson’s misplaced priorities that he would vote for a permanent new tax hike on Nebraska’s job creators,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Brian Walsh said today.  “Just as with the $825 billion stimulus and the trillion dollar health care bill, Ben Nelson would rather stand with President Obama, than stand up for Nebraska.” The Senate last night voted on two separate proposals, both with the common goal of extending the payroll tax cut by one more year…
