Issue Position: Taxes

Issue Position

There are two bills presently making their way around the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate. HR25 and S296 that would create for Americans what is known as a "fair" or flat tax. Think about this for a moment: An even playing field, no more income taxes being extorted from American citizens by the Internal Revenue Service and a tax code that is 133 pages versus the current 60,000 pages.

American companies will see lower cost of doing business as a result of the Fair Tax, resulting in lower costs for consumers - implement this consumption tax and the aggregate result is a "push." The cost of goods will not rise for consumers as some have argued. As a graduate of the Naval Academy with a degree in economics, I have long supported a flat consumption tax and the movement is continuing to grow as more and more Americans realize the benefits of the Fair Tax.
