    Tax and Spending Issues

Rep. Myrick believes taxes burden families, businesses, and economic growth. Rep. Myrick believes that federal money is not the government's, but is your money and you should keep more of it. 

Rep. Myrick is a true fiscal conservative when it comes to spending.  Since coming to Congress in 1995, Rep. Myrick has fought government spending by routinely voting against spending increases and by attempting to abolish government programs that are repetitive and unnecessary.  She believes Congress needs to take the lead in promoting fiscal discipline and eliminating wasteful government spending in order for the federal government to become smaller and more efficient. Her efforts to put a lid on federal spending has gained the praise of the NY Times and many public watchdog groups.   

Rep. Myrick voted against the House Majority's 2009 Budget because it had no fiscal discipline.  It contains the largest tax increase in history.  It cuts no wasteful government programs.  It increases spending by $74 Billion and does nothing to address entitlements.  To see details on this Budget, please click here
