Stopping Legalized Robbery - Taxpayer Protection Pledge

As your next Governor, I wholeheartedly commit to opposing and vetoing any and all attempts to raise taxes in Indiana. My unwavering stance aligns with the Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) Taxpayer Protection Pledge. This pledge, championed by ATR, calls upon candidates for both federal and state offices to publicly declare their commitment to resisting tax increases.

The ATR believes in a tax system that is simpler, flatter, more transparent, and ultimately lower than the current rates. They firmly assert that minimizing the government’s power to tax is essential. As part of this commitment:

1. I will oppose any and all efforts aimed at increasing tax rates for individuals and businesses.
2. I will also stand against any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless such changes are matched dollar for dollar by further reductions in tax rates.

By adhering to this pledge, I am dedicated to ensuring that Hoosier citizens’ hard-earned money remains in their pockets. For more information about the Americans for Tax Reform, visit their website at www.atr.org. Together, we can foster responsible fiscal policies and economic prosperity for all."
