DSCC ad rips Thompson over middle class taxes, 'special interest' tax breaks

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee today announced a new ad charging that GOP Senate candidate Tommy Thompson supports middle class tax hikes to fund tax breaks for his "special interest friends."

The spot says the former governor "refuses to release his taxes" while supporting "raising taxes on the middle class."

"A thousand a year to pay for tax breaks for Thompson’s special interest friends: high-flying millionaires, oil companies, and outsourcing corporations," an announcer continues as the ad shows a jet, then scrolls through footage of well-dressed people drinking and smoking cigars.

"Tommy Thompson: putting special interests ahead of us," the spot ends.
