Big Guys Won Again
The President claims that we are winning his trade war with China. Fact: Following his announcement, our small family business started getting surcharges (13-25%) on invoices from our suppliers who get their products from China.
During the recent debate, the Vice President claimed that the President’s tax cut gave middle class families refunds in the thousands. Mine was about $200.
The President also claims to have given big tax cuts to businesses. However, our small family business actually now pays more. When I asked our accountant why, he said the business tax code was simplified, with fewer percentages. So our percentage went from 18% to 21% while big businesses went down from 28%. So much for “big tax cuts” for the little guys. The big guys won again, as usual.

Reprehensible Attack Ad
The false ads attacking Betsy Rader by the RSCC are reprehensible. I will not let a defamatory ad go without correcting the record.
The RSCC ad makes patently false claims regarding Ms. Rader’s work as an attorney more than 25 years ago. The ad misrepresents the facts of the case and the claims made in the ad are simply untrue.
The facts are clear. Judge Aldrich dismissed the case referenced in the ad, noting that no allegations of improper conduct had been made since 1992. Please note the date — Betsy Rader was not hired by the company until 1994.
Part of Ms. Rader’s role at the company was, in fact, to provide sexual harassment training and ensure the company provided a safe and non-discriminatory working environment for all its employees. None of the women making complaints worked at the company by the time Ms. Rader worked there. Judge Aldrich’s ruling makes very clear that once Ms. Rader worked at the company, women no longer complained of sexual harassment.
Don’t be misled by these reprehensible ads. Betsy Rader has spent her life standing up for and representing victims of discrimination, abuse and domestic violence.
