Tom MacArthur on Tax Reform

	Tom MacArthur on Tax Reform

Kept taxes low as Mayor; do same federally

As a Mayor and Councilman, Tom kept taxes among the lowest per person in the region and under Governor Christie's 2% property tax cap, while still protecting vital services like police and public safety. In Congress, Tom will push for comprehensive tax reform that makes our federal tax code flatter and simpler, incentivizes savings and investment, sound financial planning and affordable elder care for seniors. As part of any reform efforts, Tom will advocate for ending the death tax, while keeping the mortgage interest and property tax deductions because of their importance to making homeownership affordable and the real estate market sound in New Jersey.

Unlike his opponent, Tom believes the best way to remedy income inequality is by expanding economic and educational opportunities for all, not punishing people for their success and engaging in class warfare that divides Americans.
