Campaign website
Rich’s campaign website stated the following:
“ |
Taxes How else can we improve our new tax system? Continue to make it fairer, simpler, and more honest. We can close special interest loopholes and end tax codes that allow cheating. When we’re done, payroll employees should feel no need for professional help to file their taxes, and every taxpayer should feel we all pay our fair share. Sanctity of Life Jobs & Economy Next, we can shift existing federal spending from non-productive programs to renew our national infrastructure. Our roads, bridges, railroads, airports, water and sewer lines, and energy generation and transmission systems form the backbone of our economy and the lifeline of our public well being. But compared with other wealthy nations, America’s infrastructure is old and crumbling. Repairing and renewing it will help both businesses and citizens, and will create steady, good-paying, hard hat jobs. This isn’t government magic – it’s common sense. 2nd Amendment Energy Healthcare Immigration Veterans National Security |
