Another day brings another example of Ohioans benefitting from the Republican tax cut plan, as Columbus’ own Nationwide announced plans to invest in their employees today. But in the face of all evidence of the positive effects of the tax cut, career politician Sherrod Brown continues to stand by his stubborn opposition.
Nationwide announced that, in light of the tax cut, it would give a $1,000 bonus to all employees, except its highest-raking executives, and increase its match on employees’ 401(k) plans. Nationwide joins dozens of other companies across the nation that have announced similar plans in the weeks since the tax law passed, including Cincinnati’s Fifth Third Bancorp. As the new tax rates go into effect, leaving workers with more money in their paychecks, Sherrod Brown will be forced to explain why he fought so hard against a plan that is directly benefitting Ohio families.
“Career politician Sherrod Brown’s opposition to the Republican tax cut looks worse and worse as workers see the economic benefits of the plan in their own paychecks,” said NRSC Spokesman Bob Salera. “Brown had the opportunity to vote to put more money in Ohioans’ pockets, but he stood with his fellow liberals in Washington instead.”
