I would rather we limited - for the sake of transparency - we limited the number of taxes that we had and we were right up front about what they are, how much they are, and so forth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't believe we need any more taxes. We need to curtail the size of government. That seems to be a common thread among a majority of Americans out there that understand that we have to limit the size and scope of our government.
We can fight over what the taxation levels should be, but the tax system should be very, very simple and not distortionary.
We have to have an adequate number of taxes and an adequate amount of taxes.
We should have a very limited federal government.
I would be open to a proposal that would have some minimum tax level for everyone.
The real issue for the public is to figure out which narrative do we want. We can have a bigger government, if that's the public's choice. It'll just require higher taxes on every American. Do you want that, or do you want smaller government, smaller taxes?
So if we are really concerned about generating more taxes, we ought to be investing in our people, not taking away the kinds of resources that contribute to their ability to become greater taxpayers in this country.
I'd rather see the tax for innovation reduced rather than expanded.
Instead of raising taxes as some would insist, we need to reduce waste and inefficiency in government.
Higher taxes is the road to ruin. We must and we will shrink our government, and that means making some tough choices, tightening our belts.
