Basic tenets of economics dictate that when you tax something, you get less of it. Thats why its incomprehensible that the U.S. Senate is moving to raise taxes on one of the brightest sectors of our struggling economy.
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) recently thanked grassroots activists for helping conservatives in the Senate defeat the recent gun control legislation, which has sparked criticism from the Republican establishment in Washington.
POLITICO: "Never before had President Barack Obama put the moral force and political muscle of his presidency behind an issue quite this big -- and lost quite this badly."
The Senate voted yesterday to bring Harry Reid's unconstitutional gun control bill to the Senate floor. This was major setback, but this debate is far from over and there is good reason to believe we can win it.
Last month, they called Rand Paul (R-KY) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) "ridiculous" and "wacko birds" for mounting a filibuster to stop the federal government from attacking Americans with drones without due process. Now they're criticizing Senate conservatives for working to defeat a sweeping gun control bill written by Harry Reid (D-NV) that creates a new gun tax and a federal gun list to track American gun owners.
