End the state income tax!

This proposal, offered by leaders of the Libertarian Party, would abolish the state income tax, eliminating nearly 60 percent of state taxes, throwing the state budget into chaos, and jeopardizing the state’s bond rating. No one likes paying taxes, but that’s how we pay for basic services like schools and teachers, health care, environmental protection, local aid that funds police and fire protection, nursing homes for the elderly, human services and infrastructure. The income tax, enacted nearly a century ago, has been the principal source of state finances for decades. That’s why business and labor leaders have come together to oppose this reckless initiative. It’s why not a single member of the legislature, House or Senate, Democrat or Republican, voted to support it. It’s why not a single Republican or Democratic candidate for Governor supports it. Join them to protect the state’s future.
