Taylor Hits Myrick Over Benefits Vote
With an unemployment office as a backdrop, Democrat Harry Taylor Thursday ripped Republican U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick for voting this month against extending jobless benefits by three months.
“Either she doesn’t know what’s going on or she doesn’t care,†Taylor said at news conference at a south Charlotte unemployment office.
Myrick was among 137 members, all Republican, who voted against the Democratic-sponsored bill.
Myrick made the right vote. Taylor evidently would have voted for bigger government. The government isn’t there to take care of you and shouldn’t pay you because you lose your job. Our entitlement spending is already way out of control.
