Issue Position: Taxes and Fees

Issue Position

Although Florida has some of the lowest tax rates, and even lower in Northwest Florida, Michelle's stance is straightforward: wherever tax rates penalize thrift or discourage investment, they must be lowered. Wherever current provisions of the code are disincentives for economic growth, they must be changed. We should eliminate as many special interest provisions and loopholes as possible and curb corporate welfare, especially where their erosion of the tax base has created pressure for higher rates. We should be mindful of the burdens on families with children and the impact on an aging population. Florida has a very large retirement population and we should be very strategic in our taxation.
