Issue Position: Tax Reform

Issue Position

Nowhere is the influence of special interests and lobbyists more evident than in our tax code. We need to literally throw out the current tax code, and start over with the following ideas and principles in mind:

*Lower personal and corporate income tax rates to make us more competitive with our peers in the Southeast
*Incorporate ideas from the Fair Tax and the Flat tax to make the overall tax structure flatter, fairer and simpler
*Reform property taxes so that private businesses and manufacturers don't bear the brunt local government tax increases
