Ann Kirkpatrick: No Tax Cuts. No Way, No How

Ann Kirkpatrick provided a very honest and revealing moment in last night’s debate, admitting that she does NOT support lowering taxes.

Asked if she agree in lowering taxes to stimulate the economy, Kirkpatrick stated: “I do not agree.”

Ann Kirkpatrick really is President Obama’s biggest supporter in Arizona. Kirkpatrick wants Arizona families to pay for her and Obama’s spending spree, even if it destroys jobs in the process.
