Mike Thurmond on Tax Reform

 

 


Exempt tips and overtime from state income tax

Thurmond, who previously served as the state labor commissioner and DeKalb County CEO, believes that exempting tips and overtime from state income tax could return approximately $400 million to the public over five years. "The men and women who are out there working hard pulling overtime, hustling to earn tips, they ought to be able to keep their money and more of it," Thurmond said in an exclusive interview with Channel 2's Richard Elliot.

Reward achievement and entrepreneurship

As the nation begins to recover economically, we must take bold action to ensure such a crisis never happens again. That means fighting to create new jobs and spur economic growth. It means creating a fairer tax system that rewards achievement and entrepreneurship. It means investing in infrastructure and in good, new private sector jobs. And it means putting an end to fiscal irresponsibility, and returning our country to the fiscal discipline that generated a rising standard of living.
