Chris Lugo on Tax Reform

 


Those who earn the most should pay the most taxes

Q: Your views on tax cuts for the wealthy?

A: Strongly Oppose. I support the re-introduction of Eisenhower era levels of taxation on corporations and the wealthy. Those who have most benefited from the fruits of our labor have the responsibility of paying the highest level of taxes. I support the elimination of loopholes for corporations & the elimination of corporate personhood. I support the redirection of federal tax dollars away from the military-industrial complex & toward domestic priorities.
