As Good As Its People: on Tax Reform


Jimmy Carter: Reform tax structure without tax increases

Our tax structure is a disgrace and needs to be reformed. As Governor of Georgia for four years, we never increased sales taxes or income taxes or property tax. As a matter of fact, the year before I went out of office we gave a $50 million refund for the property taxpayers of Georgia.
