Taxes

We stand for the wise stewardship and responsible use of the people’s money.

The Republican Party is the party of balanced budgets, limited government, and fiscal responsibility. We support, without exception and without apology, a two-thirds vote requirement for tax increases, tax increases labeled as fees, bonds, and the state budget. We call for a constitutional ban on any bonded indebtedness to cover general operating deficits, and we oppose unfunded federal and state mandates. We support our Republican legislators’ efforts to require California’s government live within its means.
