2020 KS Senatorial race: on Tax Reform


Dave Lindstrom: Draconian taxation robs the economy of incentives

Draconian taxation robs the economy of incentives for citizens to participate in working, in starting businesses, in creating products and services and in creating jobs.

Loopholes would be sewed shut by retaining only the most commonly utilized deductions.
