No New Job-Destroying Taxes

As the founders knew, the government is best which governs least. Therefore, it is imperative that government take in taxes only the minimum required to safeguard our freedom and families.

Like you, I dream of a better life for every family. The runaway spending and special interest politics in Washington will lead straight to more taxes and fewer opportunities. New taxes need to be stopped in their tracks. I have a record of proven resolve on low taxes. In the Missouri legislature, I worked for lower taxes on families, job creators and seniors, and voted against every major tax increase bill that came our way.

I strongly oppose the Cap and Tax job-destroying energy tax of President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Ike Skelton. Studies show Cap and Tax would destroy over 30,000 Missouri jobs in one year (over a million nationwide), raise our utility bills by another 80% over ten years and dramatically raise prices at the gas pump for Missourians. We need more energy of all kinds and we need more jobs, not fewer jobs.
