Ned Lamont on Tax Reform
Democratic Challenger

Middle-class gets hammered by $800B federal deficit
If he's elected governor, Democrat Ned Lamont said that he would help fight a new federal tax law that will hurt homeowners who pay more than $10,000 in state and local taxes.Lamont linked President Trump's budget with Republican candidate for
governor Bob Stefanowski of Madison, saying that Trump's plan forces the federal budget into a $800-billion increase in the federal deficit.
"It's the middle-class, the working class that gets hammered by a tax bill like this," Lamont said, noting
that tax deductions go back to the tenure of another Republican President: Abraham Lincoln. "You think about this Trump tax bill. It reminds me a little of the (proposed) Stefanowski elimination of the state income tax. We cannot borrow in this state.
We must pay our bills."
"Ned concentrating on state and local deductions ignores the root of the problem, which is that he and Dan Malloy have supported tax increase after tax increase," said a Stefanowski spokesman.

Estate tax essential to progressive taxation system
The estate tax is an essential part of a progressive taxation system. The estate tax applies to just 0.5% of all estates, and those worth more than $4 million per couple. Weakening or eliminating the estate tax benefits the wealthiest one percent of
Americans, and comes at the expense of investing in our communities, citizens, and security. I will oppose any efforts, from either side of the aisle, to further undermine the financial health of this country by weakening or eliminating the estate tax.

Push back against the ill-advised tax cuts
Q: What specific policy differences do you have with Senator Lieberman? A: I believe that we as the Democratic party should and I as a senator would push back against some terrible policies, starting with the wrong headed invasion of
Iraq and ill-advised tax cuts, and stand up forcefully for a Democratic agenda, which includes healthcare reform, education reform, and energy conservation [among other things].
