Ken Cuccinelli on Tax Reform

 

 


Cut taxes by $1.4 billion a year

On economic policy, Cuccinelli declined to say how he would pay for his plan to cut taxes by $1.4 billion a year. He said he would study all tax loopholes and close those that no longer make sense. Woodruff pressed him, but he declined to elaborate.

McAuliffe said the plan "would be devastating to our economy."

Cuccinelli countered that McAuliffe was "saying whatever he thinks he has to say to get elected." And he called McAuliffe's own economic plans "pure flimflammery."

Reform tax system to encourage entrepreneurs

Every day, with every transaction, we are paying taxes to governments that are growing in size, increasingly inefficient, and becoming less accountable for spending our precious dollars. The government raises our taxes and causes our cost of living to rise. It is time to reform our tax system and make it easier for Virginia's citizens to save their own money and encourage entrepreneurs to invest in their own businesses.
