Taxes
Taxes are simply too high, and American families have less money to spend on their priorities. Rather than taking money from the hands of the middle class to pay for a large, overbearing federal government, I believe in letting hard-working taxpayers keep more of what they earn. This would help strengthen our economy, stimulate job growth and force the government to make wiser spending decisions – all of which would benefit American families.
Also, as an associate in a small business and as an active member of my chamber of commerce, I understand the need to protect our nation’s small businesses and create opportunities for growth and economic prosperity. Sixty percent of our economy nationally is small businesses and it is even higher than that in Arizona. I believe that less taxation and government regulation of private companies will continue to make America the best place in the world to do business. For instance, the devastating effects of the death tax are suffered most by family owned small businesses and their employees. Eliminating the death tax is one way Congress can help American family-owned businesses and family farms expand opportunity, create jobs and stimulate the economy.
I am an advocate for the Fair Tax Act (HR 25/ S 296) which would abolish the income tax for a national retail sales tax. The tax would be levied once at the point of purchase on all new goods and services for personal consumption. The proposal also calls for a monthly payment to all family households of lawful U.S. residents as an advance rebate, or 'prebate', of tax on purchases up to the poverty level. The sales tax rate, as defined in the legislation, is 23 percent of the total payment including the tax ($23 of every $100 spent in total—calculated similar to income taxes).
