Michael Cassidy is Confused
A Liberal Agenda
Shortly after the June 7 Republican primary, the press and others “discovered” several social spending programs promoted by the challenger that puts Mike Cassidy to the left of President Joe Biden and in sync with Senator Bernie Sanders on health care.
“Medicare for All” regardless of age
A requirement for taxpayers to give all newlyweds $20,000
A federal maternal leave program with five years of benefits
Universal Basic Income for families with children
Cassidy also opposed corporations owning private residences or farmland; this would be a big problem for many farmers in Mississippi.
Caught Red Handed
After blistering Facebook and Twitter comments, and once the press reported on Cassidy’s policy positions, he scrubbed his website of the controversial proposals and declared, “Based on helpful feedback from many conservatives in the 3rd District, I’ve improved my America Dream policies by focusing on lowering the tax burden for working families with children.”
Missing from the new website were any mentions of:
- Medicare for All;
- Stipends for married couples; and
- Universal income disbursements for families with children.
Yet, even after Cassidy scrubbed his website and revamped his policies, Mississippi Today notes that one was still “remarkably similar to one of President Joe Biden’s chief economic focuses…”
Michael Cassidy will say anything to get elected, and when he gets caught he tries to erase the evidence!
