Young Kim on Tax Reform |
Gil Cisneros (D): Yes. Supports a tax increase for the wealthy to balance the budget.
Young Kim (R): No. Signed the Americans for Tax Reform pledge to not raise taxes.
Q: Taxes: Support President Trump's tax cuts?
Gil Cisneros (D): No. "Massive tax handout to big corporations & special interests." Says average taxpayer in district lost over $11,000 from capping of state & local tax deductions. Result is "self-created deficit" and threatened "cuts to Medicare, Social Security, & Children's Health Insurance Program."
Young Kim (R): Yes. Said Trump Tax cut gives money back to the middle class. But would work to lift cap on deductibility of state taxes.

Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
