NRCC Releases New Campaign: Bill Foster Facts
Illinois Millionaire and Former Congressman Votes For Taxes On Middle Class, Pays Zero Income Tax Himself
Washington — The National Republican Congressional Committee released targeted calls and online ads today exposing the fact that millionaire Congressman Bill Foster paid zero in income taxes last year. As a former Member of Congress, Bill Foster was the wealthiest member of the Illinois delegation. Foster proves time and again he is out of touch with the needs of middle class families by consistently voting to increase taxes, strapping small businesses and burdening families with more fees. Further details of his hypocrisy can be found at www.billfosterfacts.com.
“It’s troubling that a millionaire like politician Bill Foster feels he doesn’t need to pay income tax, yet has no problem voting for crushing tax hikes that strangle small businesses and hurt middle class families,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay. “As the economy continues to struggle because of the massive burden of big government taxes, Illinois voters cannot afford to bring back an out-of-touch millionaire Congressman like Foster who continues to support higher taxes while he’s unwilling to contribute himself.”
