The Mississippi Republican Party
Taxes
We support the overall reduction of the tax burden on our
citizens. Most "tax cuts" in recent years have been
tax shifts; the overall burden on the people has not been
reduced and government has grown fat on years of successive
budget surpluses. We believe that our tax burden is too high,
including at the state level. We also believe that the only
way ever to slow the growth of government at all levels is
to slow the flow of money to government ... and that means
real tax cuts.
We support eliminating the super-majority requirement to
reduce taxes, so that reducing taxes requires a simple majority
vote in both houses of the Legislature, rather than the three
fifths vote now required.
