The Massachusetts Republican said he's trying to keep taxes low to help businesses grow, while portraying Warren as a "jobs destroyer" who favors a heavier tax burden.
Brown said Warren supports tax increases that would cost $3.4 trillion over the next decade.
Brown made his comments Tuesday during a speech before the South Shore Chamber of Commerce in Randolph.
At a campaign event in Dorchester Tuesday afternoon, Warren fired back.

She told supporters that the failed policies of the previous administration are to blame for the country's economic crisis.
Warren said she believes the way to recovery is to tax the rich and big companies and provide tax breaks for the middle class.
She claimed an independent review shows her economic plan is 67-percent more effective at cutting the deficit than Brown's plan.
