Why We Recommend a NO Vote on ALL Tax Levies
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The Republican Party Platform Preamble (page 2) and Section 2 (page 3) support voting NO on tax levies.
- Preamble:
We believe the government must practice fiscal responsibility, and that taxpayers shall allow the government only the money necessary to provide Constitutionally specified functions. - Section 2. Taxation:
A. We support lower federal, state, and local taxes. High taxes are a burden on businesses, families, and individuals.
B. We believe that tax reductions can be achieved by cutting spending on every level: federal, state, and local. We believe that lower taxes will result in increased revenue to the government as the private sector will thrive.
C. We believe Idaho’s tax structure should be predictable, fair, and balanced; and that the combination of our income, sales, and property taxes will continue to provide a stable, dependable source of income for governmental needs.
D. We support true government transparency that allows the public to review all local, state, and federal government expenditures, contracts, and audits online. We support uniform accounting systems that allow taxpayers to compare and analyze government spending trends.
