Elizabeth Colbert-Busch on Tax Reform

Be fair to middle-class families and small businesses

In the short-run, I do not support new taxes. Before we raise taxes, we need to enact measured, targeted cuts.

For the long-term, we must be practical and not political. A discussion of long-term fiscal solutions that consider reforms to entitlements and new revenue is the right place to start. I would also press for tax reform that is fair to middle-class families and small businesses and that will grow the broader economy.
