Taxes and the IRS

Ben Loyola speaking at the Hamton Roads Tea Party

“Nothing kills economic growth quicker than tax increases. Throughout our history, economic expansion follows tax cuts, and economic turmoil follows tax increases. Higher taxes hurt families, stop businesses from expanding, freeze entrepreneurs from creating new jobs, and give government more opportunity to recklessly spend and waste money that isn’t theirs. I oppose new taxes on Virginians.” –Ben Loyola

Ben believes good government is focused on its core Constitutional functions and supports funding those functions with adequate resources. Our Republican leadership in Virginia has done an excellent job in keeping taxes low and making Virginia such a business-friendly state.

However, there are those in Government who want higher taxes for their own pet projects and spending dreams. Some, like my opponent, have voted to increase taxes on hard-working Virginians, and if they had their way, Virginia would be in perilous shape right now.

We can’t let those priorities dominate in Virginia, or we risk losing our positive business reputation.

Ben opposes tax increases and will oppose them vigorously as your Senator.
