Welcome to the website for Iowans for Discounted Taxes!,
(IDT!).
Welcome! On this site, youll learn more about
an exciting idea that would be a boon for Iowa and
America. I met a lot of Iowans and learned about your
tax system when I ran for President in 1996 and 2000.
Iowa now has such an extraordinary opportunity to
enrich its citizens, solve its deficit problem, grow
its economy and set an irresistible example for national
tax reform. This is why I have agreed to serve as
Honorary Chairman of Iowans for Discounted Taxes!.
Instead of taking the destructive road of higher
taxes to address the government's deficits, IDT! is
urging you to demand an exciting reform that has been
proven to put more money in your pockets; cause your
property values to rise farther, faster, thereby building
real wealth for yourself; solve Iowa's budget deficit
and grow our economy.
Will It work? Yes, based on previous experiences
in other economies such as Hong Kong, Russia and other
states around the world. So Iowa's opportunity is
extraordinary. And to take every precaution, IDT!
has engaged The Beacon Hill Institute in Boston, the
largest and most experienced non-partisan organization
in the country for modeling these kinds of tax reforms.
Beacon Hill's research will show what the optimal
rate should be.
Iowa should seize this opportunity. Iowans need not
rewrite their current tax code, but simply pass an
optional, discounted rate that makes the old laws
virtually obsolete. Your first reward from Discounted
Tax Reform will be in not having to pay anyone to
prepare your state income taxes anymore.
Nationally, this kind of tax reform would also make
America stronger. The world needs a very strong America,
right now, for everyone's safety. And this is why
Iowa's tax policy is so important -- it will set the
stage for the greatest and most important tax reform
in history. The sooner Iowa acts, the better for Iowa
and the nation.
So I invite you to learn more about our proposal
and the benefits it offers. Everyone reading this
message should get involved by volunteering and making
a contribution. But the most important fact for everyone
to grasp is that the lower the tax rates, the more
the government's revenues will rise. Its all
about incentives. They are the key and that has been
proven time and again.
Thanks for visiting our website and be sure to watch
"Kersten's Scorecard & Mosley's Memos"
to keep updated on our progress with your legislators.
Sincerely,
Steve Forbes
Honorary Chairman
Iowans for Discounted Taxes!
