Fair, Progressive Taxes
Fair, progressive taxes based on income are the most reasonable way to fund the needed functions of government and I have authored and supported legislation consistently to make taxes fair.
I proposed legislation to add a surtax to income taxes that would blink on when during economic crises and blink off during normal economic times.
I authored legislation to tax credit card companies for excess interest rates – over 15% — but the Governor protected the business interests.
In the interest of tax fairness, I worked to reduce property tax burdens and increases.
