The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is launching a new digital ad in Maine, holding Senator Susan Collins accountable for her “lopsided giveaway” to corporations and the wealthiest Americans. WATCH:
Two years after Senator Collins helped jam this handout through Congress, the new ad reveals some of the worst lowlights of the law — including how it allows corporations and billionaires to pay a lower tax rate than working families, drove up taxes for Gold Star families, sent the deficit surging past $1 trillion, and laid the foundation for a lawsuit that could send health care costs soaring and end coverage protections for Mainers with pre-existing conditions.
“Even after Republicans used Senator Collins’ corporate tax scam to try to overturn the health care law and end protections for pre-existing conditions, Collins doubled down on her support for this reckless handout,” said DSCC spokesperson Izzi Levy. “While massive corporations and wealthy GOP donors saw their tax bills drop, Maine families got left behind, and thanks to Senator Collins’ giveaway, Mainers with pre-existing conditions could lose the coverage protections they rely on. Mainers know Senator is responsible for these attacks on their care, and they will hold her accountable for her harmful agenda.”
The DSCC has held Senate Republicans accountable for their reckless tax handout all week, highlighting some of the most damaging aspects of this deeply unpopular law — including its unprecedented windfall for corporations and the wealthiest Americans and subsequent surge in corporate stock buybacks, as well as its cruel tax hike for Gold Star families.
