Both DC Insiders Support Tax Cuts for Corporations and Millionaires like Themselves

MADISON—The Republican primary for U.S. Senate took a negative turn in preparation for this weekend’s State GOP convention and an endorsement vote from Republican activists.

Eric Hovde, a hedge fund banker who just recently moved to Wisconsin after spending the last 25 years in Washington D.C., stood up for corporate special interests and came out in opposition to higher taxes on big oil and drilling permit fees at a time of record profits. In an e-mail to supporters on Sunday, Hovde personally attacked former Bush administration Cabinet Secretary Tommy Thompson and accused him of “political double speak from a Washington insider.”

In response to the Hovde attack, Thompson’s campaign said, “It's disappointing to see Washington, D.C. hedge fund manager Eric Hovde launch an extremely dishonest and desperate attack.”

The fact is Hovde and Thompson both support cutting taxes for corporations and millionaires like themselves. They both also support the Paul Ryan Budget Plan, which would end Medicare as we know it, while giving tax breaks to the wealthiest people in this country.

1. The only way one of these two lowlifes gets my primary vote in September

is if Thompson takes out a leather glove, whacks Hovde across the face a few times and challenges Hovde to a duel in Lambeau Field, 15 minutes before the first Packer pre-season home game. If that happens, I may vote for the loser.
