Exclusive: Ad campaign thanks Republicans for opposing Democrats’ efforts to raise corporate tax rate to “higher than [that of] communist China”
Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) is running district-based and national advertisements, first obtained by the Washington Reporter, highlighting Republicans’ opposition to corporate tax rate hikes proposed by Democrats.
The campaign, first shared with the Reporter, spotlights many Republicans, but also has four ads specifically thanking Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R., Iowa), Bryan Steil (R., Wis.), Young Kim (R., Calif.), and Mike Lawler (R., N.Y.) for opposing Democrats’ push to “raise the corporate tax rate higher than [that of] communist China.”
“The same democrats that gave you inflation now want to raise the corporate tax rate higher than communist China,” the national ad says. “That would increase prices even more and lead to lower wages. Who really pays? You do. Two hundred and thirty three members of Congress get it. That’s why they have pledged to oppose tax increases. Has your member of Congress taken the ‘Taxpayer Protection Pledge’? Click to visit ATR.org to find out.”
Vice President Kamala Harris has said that she would eliminate Donald Trump’s popular tax cuts “on day one.” ATR cautions that Harris’s plan “would result in an across-the-board income tax increase, a Death Tax hike, a small business tax hike, take away the doubled child tax credit and the expanded standard deduction, and impose a 35 percent federal corporate income tax rate — a rate even higher than communist China and Maduro’s Venezuela.”
