Scott Kleeb on Tax Reform

Democratic Challenger


Keep middle-class out of AMT, estate tax, and capital gains

Tax relief for middle class families

Poor fiscal management led to a $9 trillion federal debt which amounts to a "birth tax" of roughly $30,000 for every child born today. Prices for everything are increasing at a time when most wages are decreasing. Too many are getting away with not paying their fair share. What we need is a targeted tax relief package to help ease the growing burden on 150 million middle class families while stopping the unnecessary tax incentives for companies whose lobbyists dictate our economic policies.

Simplify the tax code

A simplified tax filing process for the millions of Americans and small businesses--who spend upwards of $2 billion a year on tax preparer fees--would go a long way to easing the growing burden while stimulating increased long-term growth to our economy.

Balance tax cuts with need to bring deficit under control

Kleeb on Taxes: Supports extending Bush's tax cuts for middle-income Americans. Would consider repealing some tax cuts for wealthier Americans but does not give a percentage or income level. We need to balance (the tax cuts) with our need to bring our deficit and debt under control.
