Issue Position: Middle Class Support

Issue Position

The middle class is the backbone of America. It is under immense pressure, however, from rising taxes, declining job opportunities, stagnant incomes, high college tuition costs, and declining home values.

I will support tax reform towards a "Fair Tax" that will provide tax relief for middle class families, eliminate the Alternative Minimum Tax, offer tax credits for childcare and college tuition, and tax incentives for companies that provide work place child care. Most importantly, I will fight to protect middle class jobs from outsourcing and continue to provide for wage growth though economic expansion and equal pay for women.
