Where’s The Plan, Roy

40-year career politician Crooked Roy Cooper is trying to make fetch happen - branding his economic plan "Make Stuff Cost Less" with signs plastered at his rare, carefully managed events.

While slogans work for bumper stickers, they aren't what winning campaigns are built on.

The natural question for reporters should be: what is Roy Cooper's plan for the economy? History shows a consistent pattern: Roy Cooper always supports higher taxes on families and businesses and wants more bloated government spending.

"North Carolina voters have a choice: with Michael Whatley our U.S. Senator will support working families and small businesses with lower taxes, responsible spending, and common sense regulations. Meanwhile, Crooked Roy Cooper has never seen a tax he didn't want to increase or government spending he didn't think was enough," said NCGOP Communications Director Matt Mercer.

Roy Cooper opposed the Working Families Tax Cuts, which preserves the largest tax cut in American history

• Cooper called the Working Families Tax Cut 'tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy', while in reality, the bill boosts take-home pay for hardworking families by OVER $10,000 a year, adds no tax on overtime, tips, and Seniors on Social Security - retroactive to 2025, expands the Child Tax Credit and provides $1,000 in newborn Trump accounts, and offers the Made in America Auto tax break on new American-made vehicles.

In over a decade as a state legislator, Roy Cooper supported raising taxes and fees on North Carolinians by $9 billion

• Roy Cooper voted for tax hikes in the state corporate tax, personal income tax, gas tax, and sales tax in the 1980s and 1990s.

Cooper's 'recommended budgets' would have spent billions more beyond already-planned increases from state legislators, creating massive budget deficits if enacted

• Cooper's first state budget proposal in 2017 represented a $1.1 billion increase in state spending.
• In 2019, Cooper's budget would have proposed a massive $2 Billion bond project and increased corporate and personal income taxes across the board.
• In his 2023 budget, Cooper proposed a massive 18% increase in spending in just one year, cancelling corporate income tax reductions and raising taxes on households making more than $200,000.
