State of Idaho secondary Archives: on Tax Reform


Ammon Bundy: Eliminate property tax; eliminate personal income tax

Property tax is the most immoral of all taxes because it is the state's way of deifying itself by claiming that it owns everything and forcing you to pay an annual tax on property that is supposed to be yours. But if you have to pay a tax on it, then how is it actually yours?

It's very simple, property taxes are immoral, and we therefore must eliminate them. You either have private property or you have property tax--you can't have both!

Nine states in America don't have a personal income tax. Idaho's personal income tax rate of 6.925% ranks us as 26th amongst the 50 states. And the idea that we can't do this when 9 other states already have, simply means that those saying so, are either bad at math, or simply incompetent. Idaho can do this, and when I'm Governor we will get rid of Personal Income Tax. This will put an average of $3,300 back into your pocket every year.

Ed Humphreys: Abolish Idaho income tax

Taxpayers may be surprised to learn that for the average Idahoan earning $50,000 a year, Idaho's state income tax is higher than 39 other states. Ed has a plan to abolish the state income tax without disruption to essential services.

A Taxpayer's Bill of Rights forces the government to put every proposed state tax increase to the voters for their approval. Ed believes a Taxpayer's Bill of Rights will rein in the growing size and cost of government and put more power back into the hands of the people by reducing the number of elections in a year and eliminating the tax increases passed in sneaky low voter-turnout elections.

Janice McGeachin: I have consistently fought against raising your tax burden

I have consistently fought against raising your tax burden, because we don't have a tax problem in Idaho--we have a spending problem. As a member of JFAC, I sponsored a spending limitation on local government and worked to keep spending in line with the growth of the economy. [JFAC: Members of the Senate Finance Committee and the House Appropriations Committee meet as the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee.]
