Issue Position: Taxes

Issue Position

As a conservative businessman and taxpayer, I support tax cuts for our working families and job creators. Tax cuts for our working families allows them to keep more of their hard-earned money and make their own decisions on spending. When we relieve the tax burden for our job creators, we allow them the opportunity to place more resources back into their businesses for hiring and expansion. This helps grow opportunities throughout our communities. We can pave the way for tax cuts by reducing wasteful spending and making government an even smaller part of our lives. In addition, I oppose any increases in state taxes. Increased taxes are harmful to the economy and restrict job growth. I would oppose any efforts to increase any tax, including income, state ad valorem, gasoline, corporate, excise, sales and use taxes.

I support the rights of local cities and municipalities to make their own choices on how they want to handle support for local schools. However, I will oppose any mandated tax increases at any level of government.
