Obey Fear Campaign Continues

Check out this story. Recently, the federal commission examining possible tax code reforms proposed limiting the amount of state income taxes you could deduct from your federal taxes. Most of us think that's a bad idea unless you're going to completely junk the tax code and replace it with something like the Fair Tax or a flat (or mostly flat) tax.

Here's the kicker, according to the story, only 3 states would be harder hit than Wisconsin. What does that mean - our taxes are too high in Wisconsin.

But, instead of saying "your taxes are too high and I intend to do something to reduce your tax burden," Obey is running around campaigning against this proposed tax change - trying to scare people into thinking he can stop it.

Here's a dose of reality for Obey, listen closely, THIS CHANGE WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER HAPPEN! CONGRESS WILL NOT PASS IT, LET ALONE CONSIDER IT! (YES WE'RE SHOUTING)

When it doesn't happen, Obey will probably running around saying, "I fought to stop your federal taxes from going up." What a joke. But it's another example of how Dave Obey campaigns to keep his seat. He doesn't offer his plan for America to his constituents because he knows his values and his plan are out of touch with us. Instead, he tries to scare us with ridiculous things like this.

Our message to Obey, fear and smear won't work in the 7th District anymore. We're going to call you out on it.
