The Cap and Trade bill and the Health Care bill will bring higher taxes to all people in this District and nation. Our middle class is going to be the hardest hit and many of our Seniors will see utility bills escalate beyond their ability to pay them. Bold tax reforms are needed to put more money in YOUR pocket and to relieve our small businesses of the burdens they are facing that is causing jobs to be lost and our economy to further decline.

The continued growth of our government has resulted in massive debt of over $12 TRILLION dollars that we are leaving to our children and grandchildren. Unless we begin to operate our government with the same fiscal discipline we operate our own household budgets, this massive debt will destroy our nation economically and from a national security standpoint. Either we are faced with raising taxes to pay down this debt, or continue to see our nation deteriorate as long as Congress continues to expand our government.

Mike believes that low taxes allows YOU to keep more of what you earn and that you are in a much better position to determine your own needs and spending when you control your money. Mike will not vote for any legislation that causes taxes to increase, but will work to reduce the size of our government in order to put this nation back on strong economic footing.

Mike is a supporter of the FairTax and will work for it’s passage. This bold reform of our tax system will allow you to keep 100% of what you earn, eliminate all Federal payroll taxes, and not tax any necessities in life anyone might purchase. It will not allow the creation of 700 new pages of tax code annually that allows Congress to determine the “winners and losers” and will let the free enterprise system work. Success will come to growing and well managed companies and mismanagement and greed will result in failure.

It is NOT a role of government to pick and choose the winners based on the amount of “campaign contributions” made in order to get favorable tax treatment for those donors. Mike will end that practice and the FairTax accomplishes that goal by making transparency possible in our tax laws.

Because the FairTax eliminates all income taxes on individuals and businesses, America will become the real global tax haven for investment in American industry. Jobs will be created, the movement overseas of our industries will stop, and more factories will return to bring back American prosperity. It will fully fund all of our government as it is now and equal treatment of taxes will be afforded everyone. Real, personal wealth will occur as each of us can determine our own spending habits and the resulting taxes when we choose accordingly. The FairTax will no longer make us the slaves to our government that our current tax system creates.

Mike encourages everyone to visit the FairTax site as this non-partisan, well researched and documented form of taxation will result in economic growth and prosperity for all Americans. Click here to visit their website.
