Larry Bucshon on Tax Reform

|
Reduce both business & individual tax rates
Tax cuts and investment incentives create jobs. I will work to:- Provide immediate tax relief for working families by reducing the lowest individual tax rates from 15% to 10% and from 10% to 5%.
- Provide immediate tax relief to Small Business by
reducing its tax rate from 35% to 20%.
- Oppose any tax increase for new spending.
- Make unemployment benefits tax free.
- I oppose the Value Added Tax (VAT)--a national sales tax.
