Alan Schlesinger on Tax Reform

 


Opposes higher taxes and more wasteful spending

Ad announcer: "Are you tired of listening to Joe Lieberman and Ned Lamont arguing over who is the best Democrat or the most liberal? ... Meet Alan Schlesinger, a proven Republican leader who opposes higher taxes and more wasteful spending. Unlike Joe Lieberman, Alan Schlesinger won't cave in to the 'Amnesty Now' crowd for illegal immigrants who violate our borders. Alan Schlesinger will oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants and fight to keep our national borders secure."

Supports Tax Simplification

Alan has remained steadfast in his determination to reform and bring fairness to the federal tax code. The elimination of the complexities and special interest tax loopholes are at the center of Alan's tax code reform goals. As an example, we need to change the absurdity of not allowing a deduction for net yearly capital losses of over $3,000 while allowing capital gains on residential real estate of up to $500,0000 to go completely untaxed!
