Issue Position: Tax Relief

Issue Position

As a small business owner I understand the burdens that the government puts on the people with taxes. Taxes are a way of controlling the people; what must be remembered is that politicians are to serve the people not control them. As your Senator, I would:

Write legislation for small business to immediately write off long term investments.
Make paying off the national debt a national priority; we all know the danger of excessive credit card debt yet our government uses its citizenry as their credit card.
The Tax Code: I'm not sure what I could say or do about the current tax system and that's an honest answer. However, I will say that the current tax system needs reformed; it's a system with tens of thousands of pages which for anyone to say they fully understand would be difficult to comprehend. I do believe that Thomas Jefferson was right when he wrote "The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest. Only aim to do your duty, and mankind will give you credit where you fail. No longer persevere in sacrificing the rights of one part of the empire to the inordinate desires of another; but deal out to all equal and impartial right. Let no act be passed by any one legislature which may infringe on the rights and liberties of another." There are many in America who have no interest in politics and then there are others that fight for political control for their own benefit! I believe that if everyone has "money in the game", so to speak, then there will be more interest in how that money is spent. As a nation, the people must be engaged in the politics that occur around them and then they will desire to understand and appreciate them. One thing beyond any of this, if you start encouraging production in America and a market for those products it will bring the jobs back. With the jobs back people will be working and a lot of the problems in this country are going to start taking care of themselves. I say "Let's bring them back!"
