Schuring Signs Tax Cutting Pledge
- Posted by Justin Higgins on January 31st, 2008 in
Tax cutting is a big issue, and real Conservatives want to reform taxes while cutting taxes. One person that gets that is candidate for Ohio's 16th district, Kirk Schuring. Americans for Tax Reform put out a release on Schuring's commitment:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Kirk Schuring, a Republican vying for Ohio’s 16th Congressional District seat, recently signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge sponsored by Americans for Tax Reform (ATR). The Pledge commits signers to “oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rates for individuals and/or businesses … and oppose any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates."
Norquist: “By signing the Pledge, Kirk Schuring demonstrates his allegiance to hard-working taxpayers nationwide, as well as dedication to taxpayers in Ohio. I applaud him for his leadership and dedication to the ideals of limited government.”
Norquist is a crusader for low taxes, simple taxes, and smart taxes. By signing this pledge, Schuring is committing himself to crusade for the same things. This pledge is a huge checkmark next to Schuring's name, and it shows that he's ready to put his political future on the record, and support smart fiscal policy.
what a joke
Schuring will never keep that promise. He is a tax and spend bob Taft liberal.
It's about time
I'm glad to see that Senator Schuring has finally decided to oppose higher taxes. This is quite a change from his record. Since 1998, he's been voting for higher taxes. In fact, he has fought income tax cuts, increased our sales tax, created a completely new tax that is Ohio's first tax on grain, and imposed a 6 cent gas tax on Ohio motorists. Now we're supposed to believe that he's against higher taxes. I can tell that he's in the middle of a primary.
