JD Vance on Tax Reform

 

 


 Eliminate SALT deduction: it's massively redistributive

2019: "VANCE: When I think about [Trump's 2017] tax cut legislation, which was OK, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great. If I think about the health care legislation which I think was genuinely a moral and political disaster and I'm glad that it never passed." [American Conservative via YouTube, 6/5/19]

2024: "Vance is quietly critical of Trump's signature legislative achievement, the 2017 tax bill, parts of which he views as regrettable vestiges of McConnell-style conservatism. When I asked him about it, Vance praised parts of the bill--including the elimination of the SALT deduction, which he called 'massively redistributive toward the lower- and middle-income brackets'--while criticizing other elements. Vance admitted that he would have voted for Trump's tax bill if he had been in the Senate." [Politico, 3/15/24]

2024: "Trump is promising to extend the parts of the 2017 tax law that are set to expire next year, and Vance is expected to support that effort." [Washington Post, 7/16/24]

Oppose redistribution of income; support raising families

Q: Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.

A: Strongly Disagree

Q: The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

A: Strongly Agree

Q: What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

A: We need to get rid of the marriage penalty. We need to make it easier for married men and women to have children, own a home and raise a family.

Tax "social justice" nonprofits, pay down their endowments

A principal target for GOP opponents of woke capital, Vance suggests, should be capital held by nonprofits like Harvard and the Ford Foundation "that are destroying our country." In a speech earlier this month before the conservative Claremont Institute, Vance said, "All across the country we have nonprofits, big foundations, that are effectively social justice hedge funds." They should be forced to pay tax and to pay down more of their endowments, he said.
