Many who pay these taxes own family farms and businesses. Often we, as young people, have helped those businesses to grow. Tax credits for children and education that have been adopted are strong movements towards relief. Real tax reform and real tax reduction are still called for. In the meantime, making all college expenses tax credited and all college loan repayments tax deductible should be an immediate goal of anybody who wants to improve education rather than simply provide lip service.
Tax cuts are both an economic and a social benefit to the young.
Putting more and more power and resources in Washington will harm us economically and educationally. We look to our leaders to stop wasteful Washington spending by streamlining government. We specifically ask that government agencies such as the Education department, Commerce Department and Energy Department be abolished. In short, we want politicians and bureaucrats to stop taking our money and wasting it in ineffective wealth transfers that threaten the moral and physical strength of our nation.
