Owen Hill on Budget & Economy

 

 


Government spending is a tax on work and a tax on jobs

Out-of-control government spending and debt are by far the greatest threats to Colorado and the US. Every dollar that our government spends is a dollar they have taken from someone who earned it by work. Government spending is a tax on work and a tax on jobs. The federal government is constitutionally limited to only spending money in a few areas. Our nation has progressed enough that we do not need the Federal government making decisions for the States--rather the states have the experience, the resources, and the voter initiative to decide for themselves what balance of taxing and spending they want.

The path forward for America is to return the spending decisions to the States and allow them to compete for the best approach to providing good government for citizens.
