Issue Position: Taxes and Budget

Issue Position

Who spends your money better than you? Most likely you did not answer "the government." While taxes are a necessary evil, they need to be kept in check. Raising taxes during poor economic times like these is not an option. I support the elimination of the "death tax." Tax relief for individuals and businesses, especially in this economy, are of the utmost importance. An economy operates best when people have money in their pockets and are willing to spend. Indiana has done a good job in recent years of treating the state budget like a household budget, we need to continue to do so.
