2024 WI Senate race: on Tax Reform


Eric Hovde: Everybody should pay some level of tax, even a small amount

In 2017, Sunwest Bank CEO Eric Hovde advocated for reforms that would raise taxes for 72 million Americans, including retirees and low-income earners. "Everybody should pay some level of tax, even if it's a small amount, and you don't want people just getting checks, without having put in even $1 into the system." Hovde said. "Everybody has to feel like they're part of it and taxes matter to them."

Eric Hovde: Get the rich and powerful to pay their fair share

I will support legislation to get the rich and powerful to pay their fair share while the incumbent is against all taxation except the property taxes, sales taxes and franchise taxes we are all inundated with in Wyoming. He supported, co-sponsored and voted for the federal income tax cut scam enacted in the previous administration that cut billions off the tax bills of the rich and powerful while raising my taxes and all lower income folks' taxes, 10%.
