Bruce Lunsford on Corporations Democratic Senate challenger

Has built a business, but is a populist at heart

A: While I am independent-minded, I am a populist at heart and would make decisions based on the needs of working-class Kentuckians. I'm a guy who grew up on a small farm, cut tobacco as a child and worked on road crews laying blacktop to pay for college. I know what it is like to struggle to make ends meet and I can see how people are hurting. I would oppose making the Bush tax cuts permanent and instead push for tax cuts for the middle class. I don't need those tax cuts, other families do. I would support policies that help families burdened with debt instead of making it easier for the credit card industry to lure consumers into even more debt. These are just two examples but there are many, many more to allay those concerns you mention.
