Legislative Goals for the 107th Congress
Tax Related Issues

PROMOTE FAMILY-FRIENDLY TAX POLICIES THROUGH:

1. Eliminating the tax penalty on marriage. The current tax code penalizes married
   

   couples an average of $1,400 simply for filing as a couple. This discrimination should end.
   

2. Reducing the federal tax burden on all families. Support across-the-board reductions
   

   for all income brackets.
   

3. Increasing the per child tax credit.
   

4. Eliminate discrimination against large families in the tax code. Adjust or eliminate the
   

   Alternative Minimum tax and other measures that cap tax benefits on the basis of family size.
   

5. Support efforts to pay off the national debt. HSLDA supports efforts to pay off the
   

   national debt. This debt represents taxation without representation to the children of this country.
