Issue Position: Taxes

Issue Position

At the height of each great civilization, taxes were low and revenues were high. At the end of each great civilization, taxes were high and revenues low. I believe this history is instructive.
We need to lower all taxes in order to provide people more of their money in order to help re-invigorate the economy and generate more revenues for the state. Lower taxes encourage innovation and reward hard work necessary to create economic growth and new innovations that benefit all of society.
In the State Senate I helped craft two balanced budgets without raising taxes on hard-working North Carolinians. I also proposed legislation to completely eliminate the state's burdensome gas tax that strains family budgets and small businesses. And I led the fight against Obamacare -- the $500 billion tax increase on American families.
We cannot tax our way back to prosperity. I fought for lower taxes in Raleigh and I will fight for lower taxes in Washington.
The key to getting our economy back on track is cutting spending and limiting government.
