Issue Position: Tax Reform

Issue Position

Reduce and Simplify the Middle Class Tax Burden

I agree that the complexity of our tax code has had many unintended consequences which have resulted in a bloated IRS plagued with scandal and inefficiency. I recently cosponsored the Tax Code Termination Act (H.R. 21), which would terminate the vast majority of the Internal Revenue Code and the bureaucracy that comes with it. As further legislation regarding the IRS is brought before Congress, I will continue to fight to replace our flawed system with a flatter, fairer tax code that doesn't punish American families and stifle economic growth.

As a strong fiscal conservative, I believe that cutting government spending, lowering taxes and balancing the federal budget are critical to giving future generations a fair shot at the American dream. With an $18 trillion national debt that continues to grow, we cannot afford to wait any longer to get our fiscal house in order.
