You may remember back in June, when I noticed that Ricardo Sanchez’s campaign website mentioned tax cuts as a means of creating jobs and improving the economy. Given that was so out of character for a Democrat, I thought I better get a screen shot to prove it was there:
It’s in the third paragraph. Click to embiggen.
It’s a good thing I did, as the Sanchez campaign has scrubbed the phrase “tax cuts” from the page. The old phrase was:
The best approach to creating jobs in Texas is for us to provide tax cuts, incentives and increase financing support for small businesses.
That same sentence today has excised the words “tax cuts”:
The best approach to creating jobs in Texas is for us to provide incentives and increase financing support for small businesses.
In fact, as far as I can tell, that’s the only change to that page.
I have written the Sanchez campaign for an explanation of the change. I’ll let you know what they have to say if I ever receive a reply.
Evidently tax cuts are so anathema to Democrats that even the hand-picked DNC candidate, running without serious primary opposition, running to be Senator from a very conservative state, and sure to be a heavy underdog in a general election in which Democratic control of the Senate will be up for grabs, is not allowed to mention them on his website.
