Representative Akin's campaign uploaded the video "Jobs and Paychecks" just three days ago, and is one of his few non-negative ads that we will be able to look at here on MO Truth, MO Lies. In this ad, Representative Akin talked about having a plan to create jobs, by cutting taxes, reducing regulations and empowering small business. But has he done these things? We are here to find out.
From the Representative's website, he list a number of bills that the Republican controlled House has passed as an attempt to lessen regulation and empower small business with tax cuts. All of the bills listed have passed the House, some even had a glimmer of bi-partisanship. He does make a point to state that none have yet passed the Senate, which he fully blames Harry Reid and the democrats who control it. As far as we are concerned, he has made attempts at helping out small businesses by cutting taxes and regulation on them, we just leave that up to you to decided if his methods are correct!
As far as taxes as a whole go, Representative Akin was given a 100% record for his work in the 110th Congress by Americans for Tax Reform and is known as an advocator for Fair Tax. Therefore, we judge him as truthful on his saying he works to cut taxes.
So folks, Representative Akin gets his second notch in the truthful slot today as he has attempted to help small business and cut taxes in our eyes. Just remember, we don't tell you what will do America the best, we just make sure the candidates we vote for aren't lying to your faces.
P.S. Todd Akin made a mention about family in this ad, but we have a fun little tidbit for you. Representative Akin has two twitter accounts...both of them verified. The first he has used mostly for campaigning, while the second seems to be only about his voting in the house and work in D.C...but if you look, you can see that twitter number 1 says he has 7 grandchildren, while twitter number 2 says he has 4! WHOOOOOPS Representative Akin, that doesn't look to hot.
