Dave Brownlow on Tax Reform

Constitution Party Senate Challenger

Opposes progressive taxes; supports cutting budget by 85%

Q: Do you support or oppose the policy: "Make taxes more progressive"?

A: DO NOT SUPPORT--if our federal government adhered to the limitations as laid out in the Constitution, our federal budget would only be 15% of the current $3.1 trillion.

Serious question whether any of our wages are taxable

The Tax Scam: Not that anybody could ever definitively answer a question when it relates to the IRS code, (why do you think they call it a "code"?) but there is a serious question whether any of our wages are taxable. However, even if you feel obligated to pay everything they tell you to, (Confession: I do pay all my taxes) the federal government would never need a dime from you if we eliminated the 80-90% of federal spending that is unconstitutional. Duties & excise taxes would cover the whole thing. Source: Campaign website, www.davebrownlow.com, "Key_Issues" Jun 21, 2008
