Steve
Forbes, Honorary Chairman - Iowans for Discounted Taxes Praises
BHI's work on Iowans
for Discounted Taxes web site!
Welcome!
On this site,
you'll learn more about an exciting idea that would be a boon for
Iowa and America. I met a lot of lowans and learned about your tax
system when I ran for President in 1996 and 2000. Iowa now has such
an extraordinary opportunity to enrich its citizens, solve its deficit
problem, grow its economy and set an irresistible example for national
tax reform. This is why I have agreed to serve as Honorary Chairman
of lowans for Discounted Taxes!
Instead
of taking the destructive road of higher taxes to address the government's
deficits, IDT! is urging you to demand an exciting reform that has
been proven to put more money in your pockets; cause your property
values to rise farther, faster, thereby building real wealth for
yourself; solve Iowa's budget deficit and grow our economy.
Will
It work? Yes, based on previous experiences in other economies such
as Hong Kong, Russia and other states around the world. So Iowa's
opportunity is extraordinary. And to take every precaution, IDT!
has engaged The Beacon Hill Institute in Boston, the largest and
most experienced non-partisan organization in the country for modeling
these kinds of tax reforms. Beacon Hill's research will show what
the optimal rate should be.
Iowa
should seize this opportunity. lowans need not rewrite their current
tax code, but simply pass an optional, discounted rate that makes
the old laws virtually obsolete. Your first reward from Discounted
Tax Reform will be in not having to pay anyone to prepare your state
income taxes anymore.
Nationally,
this kind of tax reform would also make America stronger. The world
needs a very strong America, right now, for everyone's safety. And
this is why Iowa's tax policy is so important - it will set the
stage for the greatest and most important tax reform in history.
The sooner Iowa acts, the better for Iowa -and the nation.
So
I invite you to learn more about our proposal and the benefits it
offers. Everyone reading this message should get involved by volunteering
and making a contribution. But the most important fact for everyone
to grasp is that the lower the tax rates, the more the government's
revenues will rise. It's all about incentives.
They
are the key and that has been proven time and again.
Thanks
for visiting our website and be sure to watch "Kersten's Scorecard
& Mosley's Memos" to keep updated on our progress with
your legislators.
Sincerely,
Steve
Forbes
Honorary Chairman lowans for Discounted Taxes!
