Taxes

With over 70,000 pages in the current tax code, our system is overly complex and inefficient. I supported comprehensive tax reform that simplified the tax code, closed unfair loopholes, and lowered the overall rate on individuals and businesses in order to encourage job creation, investment, and economic growth. I believe individuals, families, and small businesses should keep more of their hard-earned money. In these challenging economic times, raising taxes on individuals and small businesses is irresponsible and will further reduce economic investment and business growth.  In order to remain competitive, the corporate tax rate needs to be kept low while eliminating loopholes that have allowed some corporations to avoid taxes.
