Didn’t keep promises
At this point, my family and I are very disappointed in the lack of success and achievement by our Sens. Tom Cotton and John Boozman, as well as our local congressman, Bruce Westerman.
When they campaigned, they promised significant tax cuts for the upper class, and for business owners, which could help increase profits. We not only donated to these campaigns, we strongly encouraged our workers to vote for them.
Our family owns numerous successful businesses, and these tax cuts were pledged to us by these three. Through our hard work, our employees are able to have jobs, and our family can profit at the same time.
Without these tax cuts, to continue the success of these businesses and employment, it cuts into our family’s bottom line. We’ve worked too hard and been too successful to allow that to happen.
We have a Republican president, a majority in both parts of Congress, and Westerman, Boozman, and Cotton have been failures to get anything done—repealing Obamacare, stopping illegal immigration, cutting the deficit, stopping welfare and unemployment handouts, and now the tax cuts they promised.
In good conscience, we cannot continue to support these three. Promises are promises, and they have been broken.
As my grandfather once told me, a certain type of person runs for office: “They are insecure, need a title to feel important, and will say anything to get it.” ASHTON MILLER III Hot Springs
