Winnetka, IL – Today, Tenth District Congressional candidate Robert Dold denounced his opponent Dan Seals' six-year record of supporting tax increases that will hurt families and small businesses. Next year the largest tax hike in history will hit Americans if Congress does not act to stop it.
“Dan Seals supports the largest tax increase in history,” said Dold campaign spokesperson Kelly Klopp. “This is the worst possible time to raise taxes, yet for six years Seals has stated his support for higher taxes.”
“Robert Dold opposes any income tax hike because higher taxes would hurt families and small businesses,” said Klopp. “What Seals fails to understand is that a majority of small business owners pay taxes on their businesses through their personal income tax form, and so personal income taxes are often the same thing as small business taxes.”
Klopp continued, “Seals calls himself a ‘business consultant’ yet fails to have a basic understanding of how small businesses work. Tax increases would be a fatal blow to many small businesses, just at the time we are relying on small business to pull the country out of recession.”
