The National Republican Congressional Committee is up with a new TV ad in the 7th CD that says Dem Pat Kreitlow supported a government takeover of health care.
The spot opens with a shot of the U.S. Capitol as the narrator says before “Washington gave us Obamacare,” Kreitlow supported a government takeover of health care in Wisconsin. The shot changes to a picture of the Wisconsin Capitol with Kreitlow’s image imposed over it.
The announcer says the state plan would have been paid with a $15 billion payroll tax, a 10 percent tax on employers and a 4 percent tax on workers, adding it would have been the largest tax increase in Wisconsin history.
“Government takeover of health care, paid for by higher taxes,” the narrator says to close the spot at it changes from an image of the Wisconsin Capitol to the U.S. Capitol with Kreitlow’s image imposed over it.
“Pat Kreitlow, he’d fit right in, in Washington.”
