Owen Hill on Tax Reform

 

 


Taxes should be low, simple, and without loopholes

Taxes should be low. Taxes should be simple. They should be only a minimal burden on families and businesses. Unfortunately both political parties have viewed the tax code as a way to promote their own agenda. This only empowers insiders, special interests, and politicians, while ensuring that the average taxpayer is at a disadvantage because of the loopholes, crony corporations, and subsidies.

A big reason the poorest Colorado families are disadvantaged is they pay an outsized share of taxes for food. This should never be the case and is why all food should be tax free. I ran a bill in the Colorado Senate to take the unfair taxation off of food and leave that money in the pockets of those who need it most--the taxpayer.

We need to overhaul the IRS as one of our top priorities. Everyone should be able to do their taxes on a form the size of a post-card.
