Americans for Tax Reform Names Linder “Hero of the Taxpayer”
(1/1/2007)Linder has received the “Hero of the Taxpayer” award from Americans for Tax Reform. ATR began issuing “Hero of the Taxpayer” and “Enemy of the Taxpayer” awards in 1995 as a way to notify American voters of the positions made by their elected officials on issues important to taxpayers. ATR believes that the government’s power to control one’s life derives from its power to tax, and therefore the group opposes all tax increases. In order to receive this award, members of Congress must vote and represent the interests of American taxpayers and ensure that hard-working Americans do not have to contribute even more of their incomes to wasteful government spending.
