Perry Johnson: Reduce taxes, cut tax brackets, cut top rate to 28%

I want to reduce taxes, simplify the system, and fix this mess. We need to cut rates across the board, eliminate special deductions, and reduce the number of tax brackets. I will reduce the current tax brackets from seven to two. Currently Americans pay at the rates of 37, 35, 32, 24, 22, 12 and 10 percent. I propose two new brackets of 28 and 15 percent. People at all income levels will benefit and be incentivized to work more.

Asa Hutchinson: Lower taxes; reform our national tax code

Every American feels the strain of an overburdensome tax code. We must reform our tax code nationally and lower taxes just as I did in Arkansas. We need more money in the pockets of hard-working Americans and not in the coffers of a bureaucratic and unaccountable Washington, D.C.

Ryan Binkley: We need a flatter, fairer tax system to foster growth

We need a flatter, fairer tax system to foster growth in the economy and allow taxpayers the opportunity to save and invest for the future. I will reform the tax code like Ronald Reagan did. Be assured that a lack of revenue for the federal government is not the problem; too much spending is. Tax revenue to the federal government is more than 18 percent of the GDP; the problem lies in the fact that federal spending is more than 24 percent of the GDP.

Kamala Harris: 28% tax on long term capitals gains for $1M per year or more

This includes rolling back Trump's tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, enacting a billionaire minimum tax, quadrupling the tax on stock buybacks, and other reforms to ensure the very wealthy are playing by the same rules as the middle class. Under her plan, the tax rate on long-term capital gains for those earning a million dollars a year or more will be 28 percent, because when the government encourages investment, it leads to broad-based economic growth and creates jobs.
