2022 OH Senate race: on Tax Reform


Bernie Moreno: Protect historic tax cuts signed by Trump

Ohioans should keep more of their hard-earned money. Nobody better than you to decide what to do with your money. Democrats are doing everything they can to raise your taxes. We cannot let them, and as Senator I will not let them. We need to protect the historic tax cuts signed into law by President Donald J. Trump.

Jane Timken: Taxes would stifle economy, destroy jobs, harm families

Benjamin Franklin famously said "in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes." I'd add one more to that list: that Democrats will raise your taxes. Though Ohioans have a little more time to file this year, April 15th is a yearly reminder of the frustrations that come with Tax Day and the government's constant hand in our families' cookie jars. Joe Biden is proposing a multitude of taxes that would stifle the economy, destroy jobs, and harm Ohio families.

Jane Timken: Signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge opposing tax increases

Now more than ever, we need fewer taxes, less government intervention, and less regulation. As your U.S. Senator, that is what I will fight for. I will protect your pocketbooks by speaking out against radical spending and dangerous tax hikes. I am the only candidate in this race that has signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, formally committing to oppose tax increases so that Ohio families can keep more of their hard-earned dollars out of the hands of the government.

JD Vance: Tax "social justice" nonprofits, pay down their endowments

A principal target for GOP opponents of woke capital, Vance suggests, should be capital held by nonprofits like Harvard and the Ford Foundation "that are destroying our country." In a speech earlier this month before the conservative Claremont Institute, Vance said, "All across the country we have nonprofits, big foundations, that are effectively social justice hedge funds." They should be forced to pay tax and to pay down more of their endowments, he said.
