Taxes

Other than at the IRS, no job is ever created by raising taxes.  The current patchwork of temporary policies for individuals, sectors, and areas of business creates uncertainty for Americans and stifles investment by our entrepreneurs and business owners.  We need more efficient and effective programs that invest in a better future, not higher taxes.  Let’s spend what we tax more wisely

The generations that follow us deserve a solid footing—not a country drowning in debt because of expansions of entitlement programs and mandates.  The fact is, we cannot prosper if government continues to overspend.  My mission is to stop wasteful government spending, bring measures that help create well-paying jobs and shrink our debt so we can build a healthy economy and secure the economic future of America’s children.
