WHY LOWERING TAXES WILL INCREASE STATE REVENUE.
If I am elected to the House of Delegates, I want to eliminate sales tax on food, income tax on SSI for retirees, Income tax on military pay reserve & active duty & lower gasoline taxes. I also want to eliminate taxes on businesses inventory & equipment. For 75 yrs our politicians have said if we lower taxes it will lower revenue. That is not true as shown by many states including our border states. If we lower taxes people will have more money to spend, business will be able to hire more people & both will create jobs, so more people will stay in the state.
For the ones who say this will not work, well we have been raising taxes for 75 yrs & it hasn't worked, this way should be worth a try.

RUNNING FOR HOUSE OF DELEGATES

I will be filling Pre-candidacy papers for the House of Delegates. I would however like to announce that I will be running. Later I will post my position on issues & other info. At this time, however I would like to let you know why I am running.
For many years West Virginia has been near the bottom, if not the bottom of all positive financial &/or economic areas, while border states have flourished, even during tough times. Not coincidentally for many years West Virginia & district 41 have been ran by, basically, the same people. District 41 & WV needs fresh ideas. Although I am considered by many to be a Sr citizen(I'm 60), I feel because of my many associations through church, teaching & coaching I have those fresh ideas.
I will be listing more specifics, but basically, I would like to stimulate our economy by lowering taxes on citizens, as well as business, thereby giving all people more of their own money to spend & creating jobs. I also want to strengthen West Virginia's families.
