Republican Ryan MacKenzie is challenging Democrat Susan Wild for the crucial U.S. 7th District seat.

After his primary win on 69 news, “We know the policies of Biden and Wild are destroying our country.”

We want to defend our values and restore our freedoms. Ms. Montero “the party is about the working class.” Wow, is all of this mendacity or gas lighting? Either way it’s hogwash, so remove your Muck boots and get acquainted with the truth. Republican propaganda has been sermonized in lock step for 40 years shading “trickle down” economics that actually trickled up to corporate.

April 22, 2024: “Economic Performance Is Better When Democrats Hold The White House” by Josh Bivens. Economic Policy Institute is a non-profit, non-partisan think tank.

Rep. Ryan MacKenzie has a high-falutin finance & business degree. Let’s get real, this achievement is for careers to develop and increase the value of businesses. He is on the PA House, Labor & Industry committee. It is utterly absurd the Republican party is “for the workers.”

A sprinkling of MacKenzie House votes:

NO to increasing the $7.25 federal minimum wage. Currently 34 other states increased it.

NO on PA corporate tax reform which closes the Delaware loophole for corporations who pay NO taxes in PA! Republicans feed the massive concentration of U.S. corporate power, not U.S. labor.

NO, to establish greater access to workers compensation. Republicans protects employer compensation insurance companies, not workers!

YES, which “authorizes” employers to keep income taxes paid by their employees.

NO to require candidates for public office to file “on line” campaign finance reports for easy public viewing.

NO on D & E “prior” to 20 weeks. For decades Pennsylvania Republicans have sponsored various anti abortion bills.

YES to “require” a funeral or cremation of abortion remains. Ultimate low. Humiliate, and create a big expense for females, and add substantial income for “the business sector.”

YES to “prohibit” abortion coverage in health insurance exchanges.

And when Republicans talk about “restore our freedoms” they don’t mean your individual freedom, they mean freedom to control your body, your speech, voting rights, or historical truth from being taught.
