The Problem:
According to the non-partisan Tax Foundation, under Ted Strickland, Ohio ranks 7th in the nation in total tax burden. Ted Strickland does not understand the crushing impact taxes have on the economy, businesses and families, which is why:
As a member of Congress:
- Ted Strickland supported Bill Clinton's 1993 tax hike, the largest in American history.
- Ted Strickland raised taxes by $840 million last year because he was unwilling to make the tough choices necessary to reduce government spending.
- Ted Strickland has refused to rule-out another tax increase to fill Ohio’s looming $8 billion budget hole.
Ted Strickland’s preference for tax increases over spending restraint will only continue to cripple Ohio’s economy.
We Can Do Better:
John Kasich and Mary Taylor recognize that Ohio’s high tax burden is hurting families, strangling businesses and stunting our ability to create jobs and revive our economy. They will work to reduce state government spending so we can reduce taxes and revive Ohio’s economy.
