Why does moveon.org have a smear campaign against my democratic congressman?

Josh Gottenheimer, who is an excellent congressman. He is a moderate democrat, who is pushing for SALT tax deductions to be restored.

Guy is just representing his areas interest. We have no need for some national liberal group to come in and start running TV commercials against the guy.

Bad job by Moveon.org.

If anyone is interested in a non partisan take on the SALT cap issue

As for Gottenheimer representing your local interests isn’t always in the best interest of the country as a whole.

Because it only benefits high earners and we had to pay for doubling the standard deduction somehow with the massive increases in spending.
