Taxes
We need to lower taxes. End of story.
Jeff’s stance on taxation has and always will be firm: we need to cut taxes. This is the fastest way to give every American worker a pay raise and part of a comprehensive package to get our economy moving again. When your taxes are lower, you have more money to take care of what matters most – your family. It's that simple. Jeff believes government needs a strong dose of fiscal discipline. Only by controlling spending and making government smaller can we accomplish the healthy and growing economy we expect. It’s your money, and Jeff wants to help you keep more of it.
Jeff has been hit by high taxes the same way many of you have. He paid for college by working as a Teamster and met a payroll as the founder of a successful homeland security company. Unlike John Kerry, who has never created a business and has long abandoned the needs of regular people, Jeff understands the financial burdens we all face with, from the grocery store to the gas pump.
Jeff is proving his commitment to lowering your taxes and helping you keep more of your hard-earned money. He has signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, “opposing any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rates for individuals and/or businesses…and opposing any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates.” The pledge is sponsored by the Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) and has been offered to all candidates for federal office since 1987.
