House Majority PAC Announces Ad Offensive Against Scott Tipton for His Backwards Priorities

Today the House Majority PAC is announcing the launch of a paid advertising blitz against eight House Republicans including Scott Tipton for his backwards priorities, by voting to end Medicare as we know it and increase the national debt by providing $200,000 tax breaks for millionaires.

“Representative Scott Tipton likes to talk about reducing the debt but the budget he voted for provides a trillion dollars in budget-busting tax breaks for the wealthy,” said Ali Lapp, Executive Director of the House Majority PAC. “Even worse, Tipton voted to end Medicare as we know it, while forcing Colorado seniors to pay as much as $6400 more a year for the same health care coverage.”

The new ad offensive runs through June 30th.

Below is a transcript of the ad.

It’s called, “The Tipton Game.” Round One … What’s in it for Scott Tipton’s family? Sscott Tipton hired his nephew’s company to work for his congressional office. Uh oh, congressional ethics rules prohibit hiring relatives.

Voice Over:

I don’t know, Scott.

Voice Over:
Final Round … What’s in it for You? You pay Medicare taxes on every dollar you earn, but the budget Scott Tipton voted for ends Medicare as we know it. Seniors would have to pay sixty four hundred dollars more each year.
