Adam Schiff: We need to ensure that the wealthy pay their fair share

We need to ensure that the wealthy pay their fair share. Let's face it--corporations or billionaires should never, ever, pay less taxes than a construction worker. And in our present tax system, that happens. And it's wrong. We must level the playing field. While Republicans continue to protect a tax system that rewards wealth and punishes working families, Democrats are passing legislation to make the economy work for everyone and help people get back on their feet.

Peter Ricketts: Enacted $1 billion in annual state tax relief

In 2022, he worked to pass LB 873 which is the biggest tax relief package land is privately owned. Getting to 30% would require a major federal intervention. Setting aside that much land and water for conservation would also devastate food production, our rural communities, and our state's overall economy.

Ruben Gallego: End tax loopholes and exorbitant giveaways for the rich

Wall Street bankers are getting richer every year, while the workers who make up the backbone of our economy struggle to make ends meet. Ruben is fighting to build an economy that works for working people, not just the wealthy and well-connected. Ruben knows that we need to end the system of tax loopholes and exorbitant giveaways for the rich. It is inexcusable that billionaires and corporations continuously exploit our tax code to pay less in taxes than poor and middle class families.

He supported the largest tax cuts in Ohio history, voting to cut personal income and small business taxes.

James Craig: The estate tax is a policy failure and should be eliminated

The estate tax is a tax on the right to transfer property at one's death. It's calculated by taking the fair market value of everything one owns at the time of their death and then assessing a tax of up to 40%. The estate tax is a policy failure on multiple fronts and it should be eliminated. In short, it penalizes and acts as a disincentive to achieving financial success, facilitates the misallocation of capital away from successful small businesses, and increases transaction costs.

Steve Garvey: Career politicians increased taxes and fees, raised costs

For the first time in history, more people are leaving California because they can't afford to live in our great state. This is a direct result of our career politicians in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. continuously passing foolish laws and increasing taxes and fees, resulting in higher costs for our basic needs, such as food, gas, and shelter. I will take a stand against out-of-control inflation and be a voice for the middle class and working families that are the backbone of our state.

We need to reform the Federal Reserve to reduce interest rates. We will require balanced budgets and smarter government spending.

All of this will stimulate our economy and create more and higher paying jobs and put money back in your pocket. Source: 2024 Delaware Senate campaign website VoteEricHansen.com Feb 23, 2024

Trent Staggs: Fought to lower every tax and fee I can get my hands on

Our income is taxed, our purchases are taxed, our property is taxed, our investments are taxed, and when we die, our children's inheritance is taxed. The federal government has grown so much that it now requires more than 25% of the average American's income. Your labor is your property. As a mayor, I've fought to lower every tax and fee I can get my hands on--and I'll do the same as your Senator. Source: 2024 Utah Senate campaign website TrentStaggs.com Mar 1, 2024

Dan Osborn: Close loopholes multi-nationals use to avoid paying taxes

The middle-class and small businesses shoulder our tax burden. That's not right. We can cut middle-class and small business tax rates, without increasing the deficit, by cutting wasteful spending and closing loopholes used by multi-nationals to avoid paying taxes.

Dan Osborn: Overtime wages should not bump one into a higher bracket

Overtime places serious burdens on workers and families. Adding insult to injury, workers receiving overtime pay find themselves bumped into a higher tax bracket. These workers are making significant sacrifices in their personal lives that are not fairly reflected by their tax treatment. Overtime wages should not bump a taxpayer into a higher bracket. Additionally, for the purposes of calculating eligibility for any income-related benefits, overtime wages should not be included.

Royce White: I want to cut taxes for as many Americans as possible

No Taxes (American Jubilee): The taxes in our country are out of control. I want to cut taxes for as many Americans as possible, from as many places as possible. Not only has the tax become exorbitant, but also a way to justify the continued expansion of the government itself. This has led to the problem that is the administrative state.
