taxes and the fed

issue

I believe government should be as limited as possible, and that includes how it takes money from the people who earn it. Taxation is inherently coercive. Money is taken under threat of enforcement, so it should never be expanded lightly or treated as the default solution to every problem. The more government takes, the less freedom individuals and families have to decide how to use the fruits of their own labor.

Our goal should be a dramatic reduction in taxation across the board, moving toward a system where people keep as much of what they earn as possible, and where government is forced to live within strict, transparent limits.

At the same time, I support restoring sound money and ending the ability of central banking institutions to quietly devalue the currency through inflation. Inflation functions as a hidden tax on everyone, especially working families and savers, eroding purchasing power without a vote or clear accountability.

A healthy economy depends on honest money and minimal extraction from the productive class. The more we limit both taxation and monetary manipulation, the more freedom, stability, and prosperity Americans will have.
