Issue Position: Taxes

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012

1. The legislature should find more voluntary means of supporting state
services, such as lotteries and user fees.

2. The personal income tax should be repealed.

3. Taxation of privately owned real property should be eliminated. In
effect, it makes the state the owner of all lands by forcing individuals
to pay rent to the state or forfeit their title.

4. Tax favoritism should be illegal. Abatements, subsidies, credits, or
other incentives to businesses based on geographical area, job creation,
or any other criteria deny equal protection under the law.

4. Sales tax on used merchandise that is resold results in double
taxation and should be eliminated.

6. Adding sales tax to products already subject to specific state taxes,
such as gasoline and cigarettes, should be ended. This practice results
in double taxation, as consumers are paying a tax on a tax.

7. I oppose any sales or use tax on the Internet.
