Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky had a lot to say about the President, including that Obama’s policies don’t work for African Americans. On Sunday, Paul expressed his opposition for emergency unemployment benefits in an interview for Fox News. He also went on to promote his “Economic Freedom Zones” plan for lower taxes in Detroit. This plan would turn zipcodes with high unemployment rates into zones, where federal income taxes would be reduced. Democrats feel this is a ploy for G.O.P. to gain support from minorities, but feels that this plan is a back handed assistance. Democrat Thomas Stallworth of Detroit expressed what he feels would be good for his city, saying: “we need investment in our communities that bring good paying jobs, and funding for education and training.” To check out Rand Paul’s interview, click below.
