Martha McSally is not the Champion for her Sister and Brother Veterans she Pretends to be.
During the course of this election season, Republican Senate Nominee Martha McSally has made much of her military background and her championing of veterans causes in general. However, voters should be made aware that on issues such as the recent tax cuts and the attempted repeal of the Affordable Care Act, McSally embraced the Republican gospel of voodoo trickle down economics and the harshness towards the ill and desperate rather than advocating the needs and welfare of her sister and brother veterans.
The Republican Trickle Down Tax Cuts
In the House version of the Republican tax cuts that McSally supported, veterans, including disabled ones would have suffered because of the taking away of tax cuts and credits that would have helped them. These include:
• The ability to get jobs with companies who wanted to apply tax credits for hiring disabled and returning veterans. McSally voted to do away with that in the House version of the bill.
• The reduction of the interest on mortgage deduction from $1,000,000 to $500,000. McSally voted for this reduction. This would hurt veterans because, due to the nature of their position, they are more transient than individuals in other professions.
• Adversely adjusting the consumer price index so military retires may get less in their retirement checks. McSally approved this as well.
