Peter SchorschAmericans for Prosperity-Florida is launching a digital ad campaign urging Floridians to contact Sen. Bill Nelson and ask him to support efforts to fix the country’s broken and intrusive tax code.
The campaign is part of a nationwide effort to tap into taxpayers’ frustrations with tax laws into a grassroots movement supporting broad, pro-growth tax reform.
Here is what the digital ads will look like:
Last month AFP announced its vision for tax reform that include:
Simplicity: Lower rates, fewer brackets, and the elimination of special loopholes, deductions and exemptions will make tax compliance easier and more affordable.
Efficiency: A broad-based, low-rate tax system is the most efficient way for the government to collect revenue – causing as little disruption to the economy as possible.
Equitability: Corporate welfare and special-interest handouts in the current tax code create an unfair, two-tiered tax system and should be eliminated.
Predictability:Tax certainty is essential to a pro-growth tax system.
No burden on taxpayers: Comprehensive tax reform should be done without placing new burdens on the American people, whether in the form of a BAT, VAT, carbon tax, or otherwise.
“Floridians deserve a tax system that treats everyone fairly and helps grow the economy,” said Chris Hudson, the state director of AFP-FL, in a statement. “The last thing Americans want is a system that continues to raise taxes. Senator Nelson has spoken out in favor of tax reform, but he has also advocated for raising taxes. Now is the time for him to use his leadership position on the Senate Finance Committee to un-rig the system for Florida taxpayers.”
