Mark E. Green on Tax Reform

Make GOP tax cuts permanent: the Laffer Curve is true

A: I vigorously supported President Trump's tax cuts, which have been a big boost to the American economy. The temporary cuts in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act should be made permanent. But that should be just the beginning. I am a firm believer in the Laffer Curve: Revenue increases with decreased taxes. In Tennessee, as a state senator we've proven the Laffer Curve to be true, cutting taxes well over a billion dollars in a $37 billion budget, and witnessing massive revenue surpluses approximating $2 billion. In the State Senate, I led the fight to fight to repeal the Hall Income Tax, making Tennessee one of only two states that has ever repealed an income tax of any kind

PVS:Don't increase taxes to balance budget.

Project Vote Smart inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Budget: In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket?' PVS self-description: "The Political Courage Test provides voters with positions on key issues. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
