Cal Cunningham:
Tax cuts for wealthy & corporations fuel income inequality
Cal believes that the only economy that truly works is an economy that generates opportunities for everyone. The economy is steeply tilted in favor of the wealthy and against regular families struggling to make ends meet.
Growing income inequality in our country is being fueled by the recent tax law that overwhelmingly benefits the largest corporations and the ultra-wealthy while leaving middle-class and poor families further behind.

Cheri Beasley:
Make Child Tax Credit permanent
The direct payments to parents and caregivers were a part of the pandemic relief plan to give working families a little more room in their budgets to buy groceries and school supplies, pay the rent or mortgage and cover unexpected expenses like medical
care. It will lift nearly 140,000 children in North Carolina out of poverty. In short, this tax cut is life-changing for children and families in our state and across our country--which is exactly why these tax cuts need to be made permanent.

For veterans making their home in North Carolina, we will waive their first year of property taxes. This benefit equals, on average, $1,200 or more.
This will encourage new veterans to quickly put down roots in our state as our heroes are planning their next steps in life. Eliminate state income tax on veterans' retirement benefits.

Dan Forest:
Best business incentive is tax relief
Since most businesses are small businesses that never get to see a government incentive, the best incentive is tax relief for all companies that pay taxes, small and large.
Tax relief allows them to make decisions that can lead to growth in the economy in a fair and equitable way and helps all communities, not just the big cities where most corporate incentive money lands.

Erica Smith:
Supports a Service Worker's Tax Act
I support a Service Worker's Tax Act and have filed bills each Session I have served in testament
to my belief that tip reporting in wages creates a permanent underclass in this category of workers who are overwhelming women.

Mark Walker:
Replace broken tax code with flat tax and FairTax models
We must reduce the tax burden on working Americans. In 2008, President Obama stated that he would not raise taxes on the middle class. Yet, due to the increase in payroll taxes (as well as the new ObamaCare premiums, taxes and penalties)
paychecks are shrinking while many personal exemptions and deductions appear to be dangerously close to extinction.
It is time for tax reform through a radical change in our current tax code. This administration has added thousands of pages to a tax code that is broken, misused and manipulated.
The flat tax and fair tax models are much better models and could be implemented whereby all Americans share some responsibility. We will not dig ourselves out overnight, but we must start overhauling the current system now.

Ted Budd:
Endorsed by Club for Growth; against tax increases
Budd has a major ally upon entering the race: The conservative Club for Growth endorsed his candidacy shortly after he launched. The group's president, David McIntosh, previously told
POLITICO they would likely spend seven figures to back him. "Rep. Budd has already proven that he is a conservative champion in the House fighting against reinstating earmarks, bloated budgets, and tax increases," McIntosh said.
