Taxes continue to be a burden on hard-working Americans. I have consistently been a strong proponent of measures to lower the tax burden on all Americans.

You can be assured that I will continue to fight for lower taxes and a comprehensive reform of the federal tax code. It is estimated that the average family pays nearly 40 percent of its income in local, state, and federal taxes combined.

In a family where both parents work, one parent is essentially working for the government. Furthermore, individual taxpayers spend approximately 1.7 billion hours a year calculating their taxes. This is unacceptable. I am dedicated to reforming the tax code to lower the burden on all Americans and making the tax code fairer, flatter and simpler.
