High taxes stifle our nation’s economy, punish hard work and success, and leads to a burgeoning government that encroaches upon on our freedoms.  Tax relief should be a priority, and the model of lower taxes to spur the individual entrepreneurial spirit advocated by President Reagan is what I would champion in Congress.

What Dan would do...

• All tax increases should be off the table, especially as families and small businesses struggle to make ends meet.
• We need to help hard-working families by expanding the per child tax credit from $1000 to $3000.
• Weed out the complication in today’s federal tax code so it is simpler and fairer.  All ideas about overhauling the tax code should all be on the table.
• Permanently fix the Alternative Minimum Tax that impacts the middle-class.
• Address the pending return of the Death Tax to 2001 levels, to ensure that small businesses and family farms are not crippled by the death of a family member.
