Rod Blum on Tax Reform

Reduce taxes on business and individuals

• Reduce taxes on business and individuals. We need a simpler tax code. Remove the special interest loopholes put in the tax code by lawmakers giving special favors to favored industries. Main Street should be treated the same as Wall Street.
• Reduce regulations on business.
• Reduce uncertainty in the business community. We must defund ObamaCare and make permanent the Bush tax cuts. This will allow business owners to plan for the future. We also need the Federal Reserve to restore free market principles to our capital markets that provide the fuel for a resurgent economy.
• Tort reform: I will incessantly work for lawsuit reform; American businesses bear the largest litigation costs in the world.

This simple tool has helped educate tens of millions of citizens across this nation as to where candidates for public office stand on key faith and family issues.

The Coalition is a political organization, made up of pro-family Americans who care deeply about ensuring that government serves to strengthen and preserve, rather than threaten, our families and our values. To that end, we work continuously to identify, educate and mobilize Christians for effective political action."
