Christine O’Donnell talks about her plan to increase jobs. We need, she said, ‘to get out of the way of the small business owners and small entrepreneurs. ... Roll back the regulations that have forced them to close their doors. She says permanently eliminating the ‘death tax’ will create 5 million new jobs.
O’Donnell challenges that ‘we are not creating a culture of dependency. ... What do we want Delwareans to be receiving, food stamps or paychecks?’
Coons: ‘To simply denounce people as being dependent because they are applying for food stamps ... is plainly slandering people because of difficult times.’
O’Donnell charges Coons of wanting to stop tax cuts for ‘the so-called rich.’ But those people are small business owners, she said.
Coons interrupts: ‘We are going to have a conversation rather than a diatribe.’
