Fair Tax Reform
Gov. Heineman's two tax reform bills will benefit only the wealthy, and raise tax burdens for 80% of Nebraskans, including family farmers. Please do not discriminate against the poor and middle class in tax policy. Please vote against these bills.
Why is this important?
Gov. Heineman has proposed doing away with State income tax, and making up the difference by raising sales taxes and removing sales tax exemptions. This will raise the tax burden for the lowest 80% of Nebraskans, while giving huge tax reductions to the wealthy and some corporations. Family farmers and agribusiness will be hurt badly.
