Video: The tax-hike strategy session

Heritage For America has teamed up with veteran character actor Clint Howard for a series of humorous web videos about the policies that are strangling prosperity.  A few weeks ago, we saw Clint in “Where’s My Congressman?”, which noted the disturbing disappearance of incumbents from public venues.  This week, he appears in “Obama Tax Hikes: What’s Their Excuse?”, in which Clint once again plays a beleaguered incumbent looking for the best possible spin for the massive tax hikes Democrats left on the table when they hurriedly adjourned Congress last month in order to have more time on the campaign trail:

Be sure to check out the district-by-district analysis of the tax hikes and how many jobs it will cost in each.  In my district, the tax hikes will cost $1.3 billion by 2020, 666 jobs next year, and over 1500 in 2012.  But on the plus side, those who lose those jobs will be able to “watch TV all day,” as a staffer says in the video … they just won’t be able to buy the TV in the first place.
