Our current tax system is unfair. When the CEO is paying a lower overall tax rate than his/her receptionist, there’s a problem. And for working families, a modest raise should not result in less money in a paycheck because of a tax bracket change. I recognize that corporate tax rates need to be competitive for job growth and economic success of our businesses; but when year over year record profits indicate that companies can afford to pay their fair share but aren’t, there’s a problem. I will work to make the tax codes less taxing on working families.
