Ron Johnson complains people are 'dependent on government' after cutting his own taxes



By Josh Israel -June 2, 2022 1:00 PM

The Wisconsin Republican senator benefits from a federal tax cut law he helped pass and faces criticism of his habit of billing taxpayers for vacation flights.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said on Thursday that his political opponents are trying "to make more Americans dependent on government."

He has also used his position to help pass a massive business tax cut that benefited himself and to bill taxpayers for vacation travel.

Appearing on the Fox Business Network, Johnson told host Maria Bartiromo that the Senate's Democratic majority is "dedicated to their radical left policies. They figured the time is running out, so they're gonna do everything they can to try and make more Americans dependent on government, grow deficit spending. This is what they want to do, this is their aim. ... Everything, all the problems we're experiencing in this country today, almost all of them, you know, the big ones, are caused by radical left policies that, this is what they ran on."
