The election is a year away, but in Massachusetts the race for the Senate seat currently held by Scott Brown is already underway. I have seen ads on television from various groups. I have seen some of the snide remarks made in the debates between Democrat candidates. I guess it’s going to be a long year.<\/p>\n

Massachusetts voters are responsible for the people they send to Washington and the impact those people have on the economy. I received the following press release in my email tonight on some recent statements by Democrat Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren:<\/p>\n

Professor Warren Calls For Higher Payroll Taxes On Small Business Owners<\/strong>
\nIn The Same Speech, She Hypocritically Blames Others For \u201cVoting Against\u201d Small Businesses<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0BOSTON<\/strong> \u2013 During a speech to the Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce yesterday, Harvard Professor Elizabeth Warren advocated raising payroll taxes on people making as little as $108,000 a year \u2013 a proposal that would impact the very same small businesses she accuses Republicans of \u201cvoting against.\u201d<\/div>\n
\n

\u00a0As reported in today\u2019s Worcester Telegram & Gazette<\/a>, Warren answered a question from an audience member about payroll taxes by saying:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0Not shying away from point-blank questions from Gaudette Insurance Agency President Lee Gaudette about funding Social Security for the baby boom generation, Ms. Warren said that if income were taxed for Social Security at a flat rate, instead of having the taxable portion capped at $108,000, the program would pay for itself.<\/div>\n
\n

\u00a0Earlier in her speech, however, Warren said that \u201csmall businesses are the crucial engine of job creation in Massachusetts and across the country\u201d and went on to accuse Republicans of \u201cvoting against small businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0\u201cProfessor Warren\u2019s double-speak on small businesses is breathtaking,\u201d<\/strong> said Nate Little, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Republican Party. \u201cHer endorsement of a tax hike on those making $108,000 a year demonstrates how fundamentally out-of-touch she is with the concerns of entrepreneurs and small business owners. Next year\u2019s election will be about the economy, and it\u2019s clear that Professor Warren\u2019s economic plans would crush the people she rightfully describes as the \u2018engine of job creation.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The race begins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
