Senator Brown Says Political Tax Vote Ignores Real Issue of High Unemployment
Statement
Issues: Taxes
U.S. Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) issued the following statement after voting against the Buffett rule tax gimmick:
"On the heels of a very weak jobs report for the month of March, this is no time to be talking about raising taxes. It will hurt small businesses and make the economy worse. The Buffett rule is a political stunt -- it will raise in one year only enough revenue to pay for less than a day of federal spending. It doesn't create a single new job, or cut the national debt. Washington wastes enough money already. When politicians raise taxes it means there will be even more waste."
