Brad Johnson on Tax Reform

 

 


Montanans' hard earned dollars don't belong to government

We should always remember that Montanans' hard earned dollars don't belong to the government, they belong to the people who earned them. The central question in tax policy is how much of our money are we willing to let the government have, not, how much of our money will the government let us keep. Tax revenues collected by the state should never exceed the amount necessary to fund a fiscally responsible budget and cash reserve. When they do, the excess revenues should be given back to the taxpayers. For the government to look at these "tax surpluses" as a windfall to be spent as they please is simply not acceptable.
