Mover Mike

Many have speculated about possible Dem candidate for U.S Senate taking on incumbent Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Ore.). Ridenbaugh Press is one of those. This blog posted about Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) as one of those possibles, when I said in Peter DeFazio is Wrong for Oregon and the U.S.!

DeFazio, like Hillary, has demonstrated he is a Socialist and an elitist.

Another mentioned is Rep. Darlene Hooley. Is she right for Oregon and the Senate? She recently said to taxpayers "take a hike!"

Rep. Darlene Hooley (D-Ore.) is on the record in support of tax increases that would hit nearly every taxpayer in Oregon. In a series of votes cast this week in the House Budget Committee, Rep. Hooley voted against the extension of the $1,000 per child tax credit, against the extension of marriage penalty relief, against the extension of the state and local tax deduction, and against the extension of the current 15 percent rate on capital gains and dividends.

In summary, Rep. Hooley voted NO on the following taxpayer-friendly provisions:

--NO on committing to pass a budget without a tax increase

--NO on extending the $1,000 per child tax credit

--NO on extending marriage penalty relief

--NO on extension of existing marginal income tax cuts

--NO on extension of the 15 percent rate on capital gains and dividend earnings

--NO on elimination of the death tax

--NO on extension of the state and local tax deduction

Oregon Catalyst.com calculates Ore. taxpayers face $2,752 annual tax hike if tax cuts not extended. Darlene Hooley is Wrong for Oregon and the U.S.!
