Rep. Walden: Reject the compromise!

As an Oregonian, I strongly urge you to join the rest of our state's delegation in rejecting the tax legislation before you. While I certainly don't understand how liberals could support a bill that raids Social Security and continues the enormous redistribution of wealth towards the wealthy, I find it even harder to understand how alleged fiscal conservatives could support a bill that adds nearly a trillion dollars to the deficit and stimulates the economy so inefficiently.

While failure to pass this bill may cause short-term harm to the economy, its passage would cause far greater harm in the long run. I implore you to vote NO.
