Tax Reform
There is growing momentum for sweeping tax reform. I support simplifying our nation's tax code because the IRS and our entire tax system are in serious need of an overhaul.
As a small business owner, I have spent countless hours and thousands of dollars a year seeking to comply with our complicated tax code. No American should have to go through the time and expense that our current tax code requires. I believe we need to scrap the current income tax code and replace it with a flatter, fairer income tax structure.
With our economy recovering from this economic downturn, many Americans are having to make hard financial choices. Now is the time to implement comprehensive reforms that will bring tax relief to working families like yours.
