Taxes

Mississippi Republicans support the reduction of the tax burden on our citizens. We believe our tax burden is too high, our tax code too complicated, and our tax system inefficient. We believe in the reduction of taxes to empower taxpayers, to prevent the excessive growth of government, to create a competitive environment for job investment, and to protect the principles of private ownership.  We support eliminating the three-fifths super-majority requirement to reduce taxes, so a simple majority in our legislature can lessen government’s burden on taxpayers.


We support a comprehensive approach to the overhaul of our tax code to reduce barriers to job creation and to set a firm, fair, and equitable foundation for collecting revenues to pay for essential government services. Mississippi Republicans will oppose efforts at the state level to impose burdensome taxes on Internet access and electronic commerce activities.
