Jeff Bartos: Cut spending and waste, give working families tax breaks

Jeff will cut Washington's spending and eliminate bureaucratic waste. Washington doesn't have a revenue problem, it has a spending and mismanagement problem.

Malcolm Kenyatta: Require online retailers to collect & remit local sales tax

Two Pennsylvania state representatives are proposing a change to the state's online sales tax law to level the playing field between local businesses and online retailers like Amazon. "Purchases from online retailers that do not collect or remit local sales tax are detrimental to companies in our areas that employ our local employees, pay our local taxes, and ultimately fuel our local economies," Kenyatta said. "This tax loophole comes at the peril of our commonwealth's most populous counties."

Mehmet Oz: I believe in capitalism which means lower taxes, regulations

I believe in capitalism, which means lower taxes and regulations, so people can really compete, and I respect the Constitution, a brilliantly written document that I think should be honored on the bench, and sometimes isn't. We have free market solutions that work.

Val Arkoosh: Corporations, wealthy must pay their share

For too long, working families have shouldered the burden of an unfair tax system, made worse by the 2017 GOP tax bill. We need to level the playing field by asking corporations and the wealthy to pay their share and lift up families through permanent expansions of the child tax credit and earned income tax credit included in the American Rescue Plan.
