Sherrod Brown: ‘It’s a Pretty Common Practice’ to Improperly Claim Multiple Tax Credits
Breitbart ^ | 05/05/2023 | Jacob Bliss

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) responded to a report that revealed he improperly claimed multiple tax credits by saying that “It’s a pretty common practice.”

Brown, who is running for reelection in a red state, claimed two owner-occupancy tax credits — which potentially violates Buckeye State rules for such incentives, NBC News reported on Tuesday. Additionally, he and his wife have habitually paid their property taxes late.

When asked about the report on Wednesday by Spectrum News’s Taylor Popielarz, the Buckeye State Democrat claimed, “It’s a pretty common practice, but once we learned about it, we fixed it.”

Responding to paying the tax bill for his Cleveland residence late at least seven times since purchasing it in 2013, Brown said, “We’ve paid all of our taxes. Every cent we owe, and we will continue too.” When pressed on why he has been late on it so many times, he added, “It was an oversight…we’ve paid all of our taxes. Period.”

Your buddy is correct. Sher-Rodham Brown is a despicable piece of excrement. For the life of me, I don’t understand how he ever got elected and reelected. Of course, he is from the DemonRat controlled bastion of northeast Ohio. I sure hope a good conservative Republican runs against him and beats him.

So who is “we” that paid the taxes?

Flouting the law is never a big deal when a Democrat does it. Woe to the Republican.

Correction: When I got caught, I fixed it, otherwise I would have kept on cheating.

Throw his ass in prison. It’s ironic how a Senator can’t understand the tax code. All of it needs to be scrapped and replaced with a consumption tax.

He mis-spoke, slightly. I'll fix it for him: “It’s a pretty common practice, but once we learned about it got caught , we fixed it.”
