Brown Has Voted For Higher Taxes Over 55 Times, Yet Has Been Late On His Own Taxes After being in Washington for over two decades, where he’s been a fierce partisan for President Barack Obama’s job-killing agenda, today Ohioans are being reminded that while liberal Democrat Sherrod Brown has voted over 55 times in the Senate for higher taxes, he has been reluctant to pay his own taxes. Earlier this year, it was reported that Sherrod Brown was late on paying his property taxes.  Additionally, this is not the first time Brown was late on his taxes as this also occurred in 2006 and 2007. As the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports: “Ohio Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown was more than four months delinquent in paying taxes on his Washington, D.C., apartment and had to pay a penalty and interest last week.  This was not the first time, records show.  Brown also was delinquent in…

Across The United States ObamaCare Took $716 Billion From Seniors On Medicare It was a little more than two years ago, when liberal Democrat Sherrod Brown rammed his $1.76 trillion healthcare bill through Congress, which cut over $700 billion from Medicare and today a new report details the exact impact this will have on Ohio. According to the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Business, these cuts will take approximately $21 billion from seniors in Ohio who depend on Medicare. Over The Next 10 Years, ObamaCare Will Cut $21 Billion From Medicare Plans That Ohio Seniors Rely On For Their Health Care Needs. (Robert A. Book and Michael Ramlet, “What Is The Regional Impact Of The Medicare Fee-For-Service And Medicare Advantage Payment Reductions,” University Of Minnesota’s Carlson School Of Management, 9/12) Notably, earlier this week it was reported that those who disobey the individual mandate would be subjected to a fine of approximately $1,200….

Report Also Reminds Ohio Voters That ObamaCare Didn’t Go Far Enough For Brown Over two years ago, liberal Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown supported President Obama’s $1.76 trillion healthcare bill which forced every Ohioan to purchase health insurance and yesterday the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office released a report on how devastating this tax is for middle-class families. According to the report, nearly 6 million Americans – most of whom are middle class individuals – will be forced to pay the ObamaCare tax penalty for not purchasing healthcare.  Additionally, this tax is expected to cost each individual approximately $1,200. As the Associated Press reports: “Nearly 6 million Americans – most of them in the middle class – will face a tax penalty for not carrying medical coverage once President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law is fully in place, congressional budget analysts said Wednesday. … And the budget office analysis found that nearly 80 percent…

Less Than 100,000 Jobs Created For The Month Of August, Labor Force Participation Rate Falls To Lowest Point In 31 Years Nearly four years ago, President Barack Obama and liberal Democrat Sherrod Brown rammed a $825 billion stimulus into law that was supposed to “create or save” 133,000 jobs in Ohio, yet today’s jobs report reiterates that their failed economic policies are not working. As the Wall Street Journal reports: JOB GROWTH SLOWS SHARPLY IN AUGUST: Job growth slowed sharply in August, the Labor Department said Friday. Total nonfarm payrolls increased by 96,000, lower than the 125,000 gain expected by Wall Street economists.  Adding to the sense of weakness, job growth in the past two months were revised down by 41,000.  The unemployment rate declined to 8.1% in August from 8.3% in the previous month but the drop was due to a smaller labor force.  Economists forecast the unemployment rate to hold steady…

Years Of Reckless Spending Now Driving Country Off A Fiscal Cliff WASHINGTON – Last month the top Senate Democrat leaders who are overseeing liberal Democrat Sherrod Brown’s campaign for Senate made clear that they were willing to allow the country to go over a “fiscal cliff” unless their demands for massive tax hikes were met. But today, a new report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) made clear that as a result of the Democrats’ reckless tax-and-spend policies, we are already headed in that direction.  The report shows that the economy would go into a recession and unemployment would increase if the Democrats’ proposed small business tax hike and massive defense cuts are put into effect. “Today’s report is just the latest evidence that the failed economic policies trumpeted by Sherrod Brown and President Obama are driving our country over a fiscal cliff,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox said today.  “From the reckless…

Doesn’t Hide The Fact That Brown Has Supported Obama’s Agenda 95 Percent Of The Time WASHINGTON — As liberal Democrat Sherrod Brown skips out on another event by President Barack Obama, Ohioans know he’s there in spirit because Brown has supported the President’s failed agenda 95 percent of the time. Brown supported the President’s first $825 billion stimulus – which he promised would help shovel-ready projects like the Brent Spence Bridge – and was also one of the few Democrats who supported his second $450 billion stimulus. Additionally, Brown also supported the President’s effort to gut $700 billion from Medicare to pay for ObamaCare.  And he supported the EPA’s job-killing regulations against the coal industry in Ohio. “While Sherrod Brown skips another Obama rally, it doesn’t change the fact that he has supported the President’s job-killing agenda a whopping 95 percent of the time,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan…

Sherrod Brown Opposed President Bill Clinton’s Bipartisan Overhaul Of Welfare As reports continue to surface that President Obama’s Administration has gutted a key provision of the Welfare Reform Act that would require welfare recipients to work, Ohioans are reminded that in 1996, Sherrod Brown opposed his party and President Bill Clinton’s attempt to overhaul welfare. While President Obama defends his Administration, it’s worth noting that Sherrod Brown was one of the few Congressional Members to vote against this bipartisan bill that fixed the welfare program.   “As Americans continue to discuss the Obama Administration’s unilateral decision to change welfare, it’s worth noting that Sherrod Brown is far to the left of his party on this issue because he voted against President Clinton’s welfare-to-work law in 1996,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman Jahan Wilcox.  “Ohioans deserve a Senator who will fight to restore common-sense solutions to the issues they face every day, not someone like…
