Dan Seals' False Employee Tax Attack


ATTACK: In his latest television attack ad, Dan Seals blatantly misleads voters by stating that Bob “doesn’t pay taxes” on his employees.


FACT:
 Bob pays all required taxes on all of his employees.  Bob has nearly 100 employees at Northfield-based Rose Pest Solutions and pays competitive wages and full health benefits.

FACT: What the Seals attack ad references are independent consultants on the Dold for Congress primary campaign who paid their own employee taxes, according to federal law.

Seals claims to be a “business consultant” himself, and yet fails to understand that, according to federal law, income taxes for consultants are paid by the consultants themselves rather than the employer.

What’s worse, in his third attempt to win this seat Seals shows over and over again that he will say anything and blatantly mislead voters to try to win.
