Taxes Are A Campaign Gimmick?

Scott Brown has sked Martha Coakley to sign a no-tax….and what does she say?

The first flare-up in the general election U.S. Senate race happened just hours into the six-week contest as Republican Scott Brown challenged Democrat Martha Coakley to sign a no-tax pledge and she promptly slapped down the move as a “gimmick.”

“I don’t get involved with campaign gimmicks,” Coakley said. “I’m just not going to respond to that.”

Brown, a Wrentham state senator, said of Coakley’s dismissal: “I find that disturbing,” adding, “I think I’m more in line with what people are feeling – the burdens of family issues.”

Excuse me… but aren’t taxes one of the burdens facing families today?
