Andy Biggs on Tax Reform

Cut taxes on families and businesses

Andy is committed to:
• Cutting taxes and regulations on families and businesses
• Shrinking government and cutting wasteful spending
• Reducing deficits and balancing the federal budget
• Repealing ObamaCare and replacing it with a free-market system
• Repealing Common Core and returning education policy to locals

Opposes tax increases, even to balance the budget.

The Project Vote Smart Voter Guide inferred how candidates would respond to the question, 'Budget: In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket?' Project Vote Smart notes, "in response to the increasing unwillingness of candidates to answer issue questions, Project Vote Smart has researched Congressional candidates' public records to determine candidates' likely responses on certain key issues. These issue positions, from the year 2016, are provided [for candidates who] refused to provide voters with positions on key issues covered by the 2016 Political Courage Test, despite repeated requests. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their parties and advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."

Supports lowering taxes to promote economic growth.
