HERNANDO – A year ago, when Daniel
Webster was running for Congress in the 11th Congressional District
for the first time, he announced his unequivocal support for Donald Trump.
“I am 100 percent behind Donald
Trump,” Webster said. “First of all because he is not a career politician. He
has that principle, so hold to it. Second of all, he is a person who is going
to build a wall to at least stop the bleeding on immigration. Third of all, he
is going to lower taxes by coming together on a program to get our economy
rolling, not by growing at 1 ½ percent, but by growing by 4 and 5 percent, and
that’s what we need,” Webster said during a Question and Answer session in
October of 2016.
“Fast forward a year, let’s look at
what we have,” said Jim Henry, Democratic candidate for congress in 2018.
“Daniel Webster is a career politician, so if he were to apply the same logic
to his campaign, he should not even be running now.”
Henry also said, “The Republicans
have had a majority in the House, a majority in the Senate and have controlled
the White House for 10 months, but what have they done? Last night the Senate
voted to raise taxes on the lower and middle classes, so they could give a
great big Christmas present to corporate America and the top 1 percent.”
Henry added, “I am actually glad that
they have proven themselves to be completely inept in terms of governing,
because that wall that Webster supports, and Trump desperately wants to build,
is about the most Un-American idea I have ever heard. Ronald Reagan told
Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall, and Donald Trump wants to build a wall,
thousands of miles long. It sickens me to think about, but Daniel Webster
thinks it is a great idea.”
Henry has a decidedly different
vision.
“If anyone needs a boost, it is the
lower-class and middle class. I support raising the minimum wage gradually over
three years to $15 an hour, to help those in the lower class to rise up into a
new, stronger middle class. I also believe that if anyone should get a tax cut,
it should be the middle class, because they will stimulate the economy, and
even the top 1 percent will benefit from it. Instead of waiting for the wealthy
to allow anything to trickle down, put it in the hands of the people who drive
our economy.”
