2014 Georgia Governor's race: on Corporations


Andrew Hunt: Eliminate employment penalty taxes

Eliminating employment penalty taxes equally helps all employers--small, medium or large--in every location of Georgia. It also helps employees by making a tighter market place for employees, thus opening new career options--which can also be enhancement in compensation.

The Job Powerhouse program will be funded by cutting expenses and government, while receiving greater income from the expanding economy that it fosters. Expenses of having under-employed or unemployed are reduced; crimes and prisoners are fewer; and poverty and people needing financial aid are greatly reduced. With more jobs, the number of people paying taxes is increased. Without any increase in the tax rates Georgia will receive much more income in the form of sales tax due to increased commerce, and people and companies will have higher income, which will add to the tax income. By reducing state expenses and increasing its income, these employment tax structure changes can be implemented and maintain a balanced budget.
