Misam Abidi on Tax Reform

 

 


Support fair progressive restructuring

Q: Your opinion on "Higher taxes on the wealthy"?

A: Support fair progressive restructuring, not punitive taxation. Wealth and success are not wrongdoing. People who create businesses, employment, innovation, and prosperity should be encouraged--not punished. But contribution should be proportional to capacity: those who earn more can fairly contribute more, while hardworking people below a reasonable income threshold should pay little or no income tax at all. Our tax system needs complete restructuring so it becomes simpler, fairer, and less burdensome on ordinary families. Tennessee should begin by removing taxes from basic necessities such as groceries.
