Bill Owens thinks that companies receiving tax breaks from the government must live up to their end of the promise. That's why he supports holding big businesses accountable by taking away tax breaks from companies that outsource jobs away from Upstate New York.
“I’m Bill Owens, and I approve this message because I think you deserve to know where I stand. I’m opposed to raising taxes on the middle class or small business in any way, but I think we should get rid of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. My two opponents both want to keep those tax cuts for the wealthy, even though they would add five hundred billion dollars to the deficit.
I’m running for Congress to cut the waste in Washington, and invest in growth jobs, like renewable energy. I’m Bill Owens and you can go to my website for the whole plan.”
I support Senator Chuck Schumer's call for an investigation into why dairy farmers are getting paid lower and lower prices for their milk, while the price of milk remains high in stores. We need farm policy that benefits producers as well as consumers, so we can keep our economy strong for all the hardworking families of Upstate New York.
http://www.billowensforcongress.com/Dede Scossafava on Health Care Reform:
What the President failed to mention is that we need to make certain we don't crowd-out private sector insurance providers; that we allow Americans to purchase coverage across state lines, enhancing competition and access; and that we don't short-change our seniors by cutting Medicare and mistakenly calling it for 'progress.'
# I strongly oppose the Democratic proposal to pay for their health care plan by cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare for seniors and eliminating the tax benefit for employers who provide health insurance.
# I favor reforms to the health insurance market so that no American is denied coverage simply based on a pre-existing condition, and to allow the purchase of insurance plans across state lines.
