I knew burns was finished when I saw the first commercial saying that Burns advocated a 23% national sales tax on everything. Showed what people would pay for food and medicine. They kept running ‘em and it was all over. People must have thought he was nuts.
He didn’t advocate any such thing, he discussed the concept of a 23% sales tax REPLACING ALL OTHER TAXES, purely as a concept, without even supporting it. Mark Critz is a liar and had to retract and apologize for 2-3 different ads. The rednecks in PA-12 (who have now proven John Murtha was correct in his characterization of them twice over) voted for him anyway.
Exactly! And Burns NEVER countered that ad!
