Increased property tax transparency and spending restraint
A 3.8% flat individual income tax rate
Elimination of income taxes on retirement income
Elimination of inheritance tax
Creating a path to reduce corporate income tax to 5.5%
Phasing-out special tax incentives in the corporate tax code
Banning local universal basic income programs
