A vote in the state legislature to allow a local government to impose a higher tax is not opposing tax increases. This isn't higher-level math.

The goal is to reduce the size and scope of government spending, not to focus on the deficit. The deficit is the symptom of the disease.

Smaller government, more individual responsibility, more individual control creates more Republicans. More state power and ownership and control and top-down decision-making creates more Democrats.

Less government, less regulation, lower taxes.

Americans for Tax Reform is a national taxpayer organization dedicated to opposing any and all tax increases. We work at the national, state and local level for lower taxes, less government spending and limited government.

Our goal is to shrink government to the size where we can drown it in a bathtub.
