Another stark contrast between Martha Coakley and Scott Brown. President Obama unveiled his "financial responsibility tax" today, and a lot of people were given the impression that this would be a way to "box in" Gopers (and some Conservadems....i.e. Baucus) to be on the side of Main Street or Wall Street.
Well Scott Brown has chosen his side, and it's not us!
Brown opposes Bank Fee
Scott Brown has chosen to side with the Banks and against Main Street by ensuring that the banks get to keep the money they've gotten from us and with record profit bonuses coming out of Wall Street.
Scott Brown is opposed to higher taxes, especially in the midst of a severe recession. Raising taxes will kill jobs. Martha Coakley's tax-raising policies will make it harder to get our economy back on the right track.
Meanwhile, here's Martha Coakley who we need for the US SENATE:
It is extremely disappointing to see the massive bonuses given out on Wall Street to the very firms that got us into this economic mess. These excesses are further proof, as I have said before, that there should have been additional restrictions included as part of the taxpayer assistance that they received.
As Attorney General, I have taken on Wall Street and recovered millions for the taxpayers of Massachusetts. As Senator, I would support this proposal because it holds the largest Wall Street firms accountable for their abuses that caused millions of people to lose their jobs, as well as it works to recover the hard-earned taxpayer dollars of the middle class.
Now is the time for Scott Brown to tell us what side he's on, and who he wants to fight for. Despite his tea party rhetoric about never supporting a tax hike, the truth is that he has supported more than $300 million in new taxes and fees on middle class families. We'll find out if his "no tax" pledge only applies to the privileged.
At this point, donations won't amount to much, but to be frank, the money would be better spent on donations to Haiti, but people need to volunteer to go door to door or phonebank for Coakley. We can't afford for Scott Brown to take TED KENNEDY'S SEAT.
