None of this nonsense that he voted with the GOP 77% of the time. On every vote that was important to GOP billionaires and devastating to ordinary families - Scott Brown voted with the GOP. His vote was free when the GOP did not need it. When they needed him to protect his corporate backers over people, he was there with the GOP.
As RethinkBrown.com highlights :
Brown has repeatedly voted for - and advocated for - policies that shift costs and burdens onto the middle class, especially via massive cuts to Medicare and college aid. These are the policies that are really crushing the middle class and pushing our economy toward stagnation.
He has also voted against a number of efforts to help Massachusetts and the middle class.
Brown voted against a payroll tax cut worth $1,830 next year to a typical Massachusetts family. It would have helped 140,000 Bay State businesses prosper and create jobs.
Brown voted against the American Jobs Act, which is creating up to 16,000 Massachusetts jobs while upgrading transportation and school infrastructure.
Brown voted against an amendment to keep the Bush tax cuts for the middle class, but end them for people making over $1 million a year.
Brown voted for a Republican budget bill that would have reduced Pell Grant college aid for 135,000 Massachusetts students.
Brown voted for the federal debt plan offered in July 2011 by House Speaker John Boehner, which would slash $1.8 trillion mainly from Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid while ruling out new taxes of any kind on the wealthiest Americans.
