National Taxpayers Union Rates Gene Taylor As “Big Spender”

Gene Taylor, a conservative spender? Not hardly. The National Taxpayers Union (NTU) has graded Gene Taylor a 28% out of 100%, which gives him a “D”. The NTU labels Taylor as a “Big Spender”.

Here’s how the NTU scoring works:

The Taxpayer Score measures the strength of support for reducing spending and opposing higher taxes. In general, a higher score is better because it means a member of Congress voted to spend less money.

On the other hand, I often compare Gene Taylor’s record with that of Congress woman Michele Bachmann. Why? Because she’s one of the most conservative members of Congress, she’s always on the House floor and on tv fighting furiously for conservative values, and Mississippi’s 4th District is easily one of the most conservative congressional districts in America. She’s the kind of conservative fighter we deserve.

Interestingly, the NTU scored Congresswoman Bachmann a 86% out of 100%, giving her an “A” grade.

Like I said, Gene Taylor a conservative spender? Not hardly.
