Tax Reform Page

In general, we believe that income taxes should be taken away, making more opportunities for other taxes to be higher. The main places the tax profits will go are towards education and safety of the people.

Income Taxes Sales Tax Property Tax What the taxes are for
 * We do not believe in having tax on a persons income, and therefore the income taxes should be taken away
 * Instead of paying income taxes, the rates on the other taxes will be higher, such as property and sales tax
 * Because income taxes will be eliminated, the sale taxes will be raised to a higher amount- approximately 15%, because there are no income taxes
 * Food taxes-
 * Because we support the health of people in the country, taxes will be higher on certain items that do not provoke a healthier lifestyle
 * Processed foods- taxed
 * Fruit/vegetables- not taxed
 * Environmental taxes-
 * Other products that are environmentally unfriendly will also be taxed higher than products that are more likely to help the environment
 * Energy saving cars- not as much tax
