Darryl Glenn on Tax Reform

Simplicity & neutrality: lower capital gains & dividends tax

Unfortunately, our current tax system is overly complex, filled with policies that pick winners over losers and creates a disincentive for personal savings and investments. Our tax system must be transformed around two basic elements: simplicity and neutrality. We need to focus on adopting a fair or flat tax policy that positively impacts job creation and promotes innovation without penalizing personal savings and investments. Consideration must also be given to eliminating the double taxation around dividends and capital gains.

Reduce regulations, plus pro-business tax reform

Here's how:
• Reduce regulations so employers and employees flourish in a healthier business climate.
• Support policies that promote a welcoming environment in Colorado for energy, manufacturing, agriculture and the military.
• Promote policies that encourage and incubate technology innovation centers.
• Take back our education system from federal bureaucrats, and leave control in the hands of families and local school boards to reestablish a globally competitive workforce.
• Champion comprehensive tax reform that favors employment and business over government dependency.
