New NRSC Ad Further Reiterates Why Tammy Baldwin Is Too Extreme For Wisconsin
Liberal Madison Congresswoman Supports Cap-And-Trade & Higher Taxes
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) today released their latest statewide ad – “Even” – which continues highlighting why liberal Madison Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin is too extreme for voters in Wisconsin.
“Tammy Baldwin is too extreme for Wisconsin, because she supported a $3.9 trillion tax increase that not even Nancy Pelosi could support,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “Between her support for more spending, higher taxes and a bigger national debt, it’s clear Rep. Baldwin is far too liberal for the Badger State.”
BACKGROUND …
Rep. Tammy Baldwin’s $3.9 Trillion Tax Increase Progressive Budget Was Even Too Liberal For Nancy Pelosi
Baldwin Voted For The Congressional Progressive Caucus Substitute Amendment To The Ryan Budget Called “The People’s Budget.” “Grijalva, D-Ariz., substitute amendment that would allow $3.986 trillion in new budget authority for the federal government for fiscal 2012. It assumes the end of emergency supplemental appropriations for overseas contingency operations beginning in 2013, consistent with withdrawal from Afghanistan and Iraq. It assumes increased tax revenue, in part by returning to Clinton-era rates and indexing the alternative minimum tax, rescinding upper-income tax cuts, creating a progressive estate tax, and taxing capital gains and qualified dividends as ordinary income. It calls for changes to the health care system, including the creation of a public plan, and increased spending for education, infrastructure, housing, and research and development. It projects a budget surplus within 10 years.” (H. Con. Res. 85, CQ Vote #274: Rejected in Committee of the Whole by a vote of 77-347: R 0-239; D 77-108, 4/15/11, Baldwin Voted Yea, Pelosi Nay)
And She Supported An Extreme Cap-And-Trade Bill
In 2009, Baldwin Voted For A Cap-And-Trade System. (H.R. 2454, CQ Vote #477: Passed 219-212: R 8-168; D 211-44, 6/26/09, Baldwin Voted Yea)
