Issue Position: Reducing Taxes and Simplifying the Tax Code

Issue Position

"We need a simpler, flatter tax code that has lower rates with fewer deductions. Everyone knows that 73,000 pages of tax law is ridiculous, and it undermines our competitiveness. Furthermore, since government at all levels spends 42 cents on every dollar earned in this country, it is clear that we have a spending problem. Therefore, I'm committed to not raising your taxes."

"Our nation pays one of the highest corporate tax rates in the free world. This also undermines the competitiveness of our businesses. I will support a reduction in corporate tax rates from 35% to at least 25% and I will work to eliminate special interest loopholes that aren't fair to the American taxpayer. I want our businesses to compete in the world and win."
