Between joint FBI/DoJ investigation into the Clinton Foundation, the continued hacks of the DNC, and now Blumenthal's ghost, we have plenty of time for her to end up in handcuffs and allow Jill Stein to swoop in.

Deborah Ross put out a really progressive economic plan today while also hitting Burr on some pretty damning stuff (especially since he's never really had a big scandal). Pretty crazy race that's happening right now in North Carolina. I wonder if Bernie will stump for her.

https://www.deborahross.com/blog/pr...-first-initiative-middle-class-economic-plan/

Middle-class tax relief: The American workforce is among the most productive in the entire world, with a worker today nearly 60% more productive than a worker in 1991. Despite this successful trend, we aren’t seeing wages keep pace. In fact, our economic recovery since the 2008 financial crisis has largely benefited only the most fortunate Americans. To make matters worse, the pillars of the American middle-class have gotten increasingly expensive. Paying your rent, providing childcare for your kids, saving for retirement, and sending your kids to college have all become more difficult than ever before. To restore the middle-class, we need to reform our tax code so that the average middle-class family can keep $1,000 or more of what they earn every year.

Raising the minimum wage: In the wealthiest nation on earth, no one that works a full-time job should have to live in poverty. But right now, too many Americans who do an honest day’s work and pay their taxes simply can’t make ends meet. That is why we need to increase the minimum wage from $7.25 to $12 an hour. This will raise wages for more than 35 million Americans, including 1.3 million North Carolinians. To ensure we’re looking out for all those affected by an increase to the minimum wage, this move should be accompanied by tax relief for small businesses, just as it has before. This raise in wages will pump $79 billion into the economy, including more than $3.9 billion in North Carolina alone, and lift millions out of poverty. Not only does this honor a hard day’s work, it’s good for the budget – reducing the need to spend on the safety net. Deborah voted to raise the minimum wage in North Carolina while serving in the State House. She also worked to pass tax relief for small businesses.

Ease the burden of student loan debt: Outstanding student loan debt has skyrocketed over the past decade, now totaling more than $1.3 trillion, up by more than 180% since 2006. This is the second-highest component of consumer debt, only behind mortgages, and far outpacing credit cards, auto loans, and other household debts. This is a multi-trillion-dollar weight on our economy, dampening consumer spending, stopping young people from starting a business, and sending millennials’ homeownership to record lows. That is why we need to allow students to refinance their student loans, which would help 25 million Americans, including 678,000 in North Carolina, reduce their debt.

Equal pay for equal work: If women were to receive wages equal to those of comparable men, the poverty rate of all working women and their families would fall by half, from 8.1% to 3.9%. This would mean that 42.5 million women—about 60% of all working women—would receive a pay increase, with the average annual pay increase estimated at $6,251. Moreover, paying women the same for comparable work as men would add an additional $448 billion (equivalent to almost 3% of GDP) to the economy in 2012, about the same as adding another state the size of Virginia to the nation. Deborah championed fair pay measures while in the State House.

Boosting access to high-quality childcare: In North Carolina, the average annual cost of child care for two kids is more than $16,000 – 80% above average rental costs and nearly 10% above yearly mortgage payments. The average cost for caring for just one infant in North Carolina totals more than $9,200 a year, which is 38% above average college tuition and fees at a public university in our state. In other words, for families with kids, childcare will be among the highest expenses in their budgets. That is why we need to boost tax relief for families paying for childcare through the tax code, expand after-school programs, boost training for child care providers, and ensure states have the resources they need to meet the needs of all children and working parents.

Paid family leave: America is the only industrialized nation that does not guarantee mothers paid time off to care for a new child. Today, only 12% of workers have paid family leave through their employers, and low-wage workers are six times less likely to have access to paid family leave than high-income earners. We should honor new parents. No one should have to choose between spending time with a newborn and putting food on the table. A handful of states around the country have moved on their own to provide paid family leave, and we cannot let families in other states get left out or left behind. That is why we need to move towards universal paid family leave so that families from all zip codes will have the same basic protections as families in every single other developed country and 182 total countries around the world.

Earning paid sick leave: In North Carolina, nearly half (45%) of our workers don’t have access to paid sick days. This means that nearly 1.5 million workers across our state have to choose between going to work sick or taking a pay cut. Not only are paid sick days good for workers, they’re good for business. Working sick costs our economy $160 billion a year in lost productivity and jeopardizes public health. Further, employees with access to paid sick days are less likely to leave, lowering turnover costs for business. Workers without paid sick days are more than twice as likely as those with paid sick days to seek emergency room care, which ends up replacing important, routine medical appointments that could prevent higher insurance costs for businesses. That is why we need to encourage efforts that allow all workers the opportunity to earn paid sick days for the time they put in. Deborah sponsored a paid sick leave bill in North Carolina.

BACKGROUND:

BURR BECAME A MILLIONAIRE WHILE SERVING IN CONGRESS

Burr’s Net Worth While In Congress Increased By $2.1 Million. According to the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics, Burr has increased his net worth by $2.1 million since 2004. In 2004 his net worth was calculated at $506,011. By 2014, his calculated net worth had increased to $2.6 million. [opensecrets.org, accessed June 22, 2016]

BURR SUPPORTED TAX BREAKS FOR MILLIONAIRES; TAX HIKES FOR THE MIDDLE-CLASS

Burr Voted For Rep. Paul Ryan’s Budget. In March 2013, Burr voted in favor of Murray, D-Wash., amendment no. 433 that would replace the text of the resolution with language to provide $2.769 trillion in new budget authority in fiscal 2014, not including off-budget accounts. It would assume that the spending levels required by the sequester remain in place and that non-war discretionary spending for all future years will be at post-sequester levels. It would assume that all discretionary savings from the sequester beginning in fiscal 2014 will come from non-defense programs. It would assume $4.6 trillion in reductions over the next 10 years in both discretionary and mandatory spending. It would assume repeal of the 2010 health care overhaul and a restructuring of Medicare into a “premium support” system beginning in 2024. It would call for an overhaul of the tax code, under which the alternative minimum tax would be repealed, the six current individual income tax brackets would be consolidated into two, and tax credits and deductions would be eliminated or curtailed. The amendment was rejected by a vote of 40-59 (D 0-52; R 40-5; I 0-2). [Vote 46, 3/21/13]

Ryan Budget Would Cut Taxes For Households Earning More Than $1 Million By $330,000.“Without any reductions in tax expenditures, the tax cut goals in the Ryan budget would cut taxes for households with incomes over $200,000 by about $34,500 and cut taxes for households with incomes of more than $1 million a year by about $330,000 on average.” [cbpp.org, accessed June 5, 2016]

Ryan Budget Would Raise Taxes On Households Earning Less Than $200,000 By $3,000. “And, to fully finance the tax cuts for people with incomes over $200,000, filers with children and incomes under $200,000 would see their taxes go up by more than $3,000 on average, even with the ambitious reductions in tax expenditures for high-income households that TPC examined.” [cbpp.org, accessed June 5, 2016]



BURR SUPPORTED CONGRESSIONAL PAY RAISES FOUR TIMES

2010: Richard Burr Voted Against Appropriations Bill Including Provision Blocking Any Pay Raise From Occurring Before 2013. On December 21, 2010, Richard Burr voted against motion to concur in the House Amdt. to Senate Amdt. with Amdt. No. 4885 to H.R. 3082 which contained a provision eliminating a pay raise scheduled to take effect in 2010. The measure was passed by a 79-16 vote. [H.R. 3082, Vote 289,12/21/10]

2009: Richard Burr Voted Against Appropriations Bill Including Provision Eliminating Pay Raise Scheduled To Take Effect In 2010. On March 10, 2009, Richard Burr voted against H.R. 1105 which contained a provision eliminating a pay raise scheduled to take effect in 2010. The measure was passed by a 62-35 vote. [H.R. 1105, Vote 96, 3/10/09]

2002: Burr Supported Congressional Pay Raise, Voted to Raise His Own Pay by $4,700 in 2002. In 2002, Burr voted to raise his own pay by $4,700 to $154,700. Burr voted in favor of a motion to order the previous question (thus ending debate and possibility of amendment) on adoption of the rule to provide for House floor consideration of the bill that would appropriate $35.1 billion in fiscal 2003 Treasury-Postal appropriations. If the motion had been defeated, an amendment to block the Congressional pay raise would have been allowed. The motion passed 258-156. [H. Res. 488, Vote 322, 7/18/02]



HEADLINE – House Clears Way for $5K Pay Raise. [AP, 7/18/02]
HEADLINE – Lawmakers Give Themselves Pay Increase to $155,000. [Roll Call, 7/22/02]
“In Effect, Vote to Order Previous Question Was a Vote to Accept a Pay Raise.” According to the Congressional Research Service, “By agreeing to order the previous question, Members voted not to consider an amendment to permit a pay raise prohibition amendment to be offered. Had the House not agreed to a motion to order the previous question, a Member could have offered an amendment to the rule permitting a pay raise vote in some form. Under the terms of H.Res. 488, as adopted, an amendment seeking to halt the pay raise was not in order. In effect, a vote to order the previous question (and not allow any amendment to the rule) was a vote to accept a pay increase.” [Congressional Research Service, Salaries of Members of Congress: Congressional Votes, p.20-21]
2000: Burr Voted To Move Forward With Congressional Pay Raise. In 2000, Burr voted in favor of a motion to order the previous question (thus ending debate and possibility of amendment) on adoption of the rule to provide for House floor consideration of the bill that would appropriate $31.7 billion in fiscal 2001 for the Treasury Department, U.S. Postal Service, various offices of the Executive Office of the President and certain independent agencies. According to Congressional Research Service, “By agreeing to order the previous question, Members voted not to consider an amendment to permit a pay raise prohibition amendment to be offered. Had the House not agreed to a motion to order the previous question, a Member could have offered an amendment to the rule related to the pay adjustment.” The motion passed 250-173. [CQ Floor Votes, 7/20/00; H. Res. 560, Vote 419, 7/20/00; CRS Report, 4/15/15]

I don't know man, this is what they did with certain states against Sanders and it didn't pay off. I assume they will be advertising through the actual campaign.
