We are living in a time of unprecedented economic prosperity. The rate of unemployment is at an all time low and the average income is at an all time high.
Opportunity abounds for many.
In this time of good fortune we have the chance to evaluate our financial system to assure that economic security is as broad based and inclusive as possible. We will look at research and support policies that keep promote the goal economic self-sufficiency. We will also evaluate economic incentives offered to businesses to assure they are balanced and encouraging job creation in the communities that need it most. Colorado's system of taxation is a complex web of exemptions, credits and assessments. We must also look at the extent to which special interests have impacted the tax system and what, if any, activities the system should encourage and support.
