2024 presidential campaign press release: on Tax Reform


Larry Elder: Ten-Point Plan: replace IRS with national sales tax

Elder, who favors much less government and much less regulation, blames both Republicans and Democrats for creating and maintaining a bloated welfare state that stifles individual initiative and free enterprise. His "Ten-Point Plan" for transforming America calls for abolishing the IRS; passing a national sales tax; reducing government by 80%; ending welfare and entitlements, including Social Security, Medicare, and farm and tobacco subsidies; legalizing drugs; abolishing the minimum wage (which, he claims, undermines job creation for blacks, teenagers and entry-level workers); and eliminating corporate taxes.

Vivek Ramaswamy: Signed Taxpayer Protection Pledge: veto any tax increases

Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) commends businessman Vivek Ramaswamy for signing the Presidential Taxpayer Protection Pledge and recognizing the importance of fiscal responsibility and limited government values. By signing the Pledge, Ramaswamy makes a bold written commitment to the U.S. taxpayers to oppose and veto any tax increases.

"I strongly applaud Vivek Ramaswamy for taking a principled stand and signing the Taxpayer Protection Pledge. By making this commitment, he has demonstrated a true dedication to the values of fiscal responsibility and pro-growth tax policy. This pledge is a powerful symbol of his unwavering support for hardworking taxpayers and their right to keep more of their hard-earned money," said ATR President Grover Norquist.

He continued, "With Ramaswamy's pledge, we can trust that Vivek will champion pro-growth policies, protect our economic freedom, and resist any attempts to burden American citizens with unnecessary tax hikes."
