Zero tax deductions for special interest groups. Everyone should pay the same rates. But property tax should be eliminated and sales & income taxes adjusted. You should never be taxed for owning anything. Pay sales tax on it and never be taxed on it again. With property tax, do you really own anything or own property if the government could take it for not paying them for the privilege of ownership? Don't give me this crap about the fire department or the schools or whatever is funded by property tax. There are sales & income taxes.
Sometimes it?s not an all or nothing game. Let?s get a first down before we go for the touchdown pass and the field goal.

The more groups that we get tax breaks for could be used to prove that none of them are warranted, or needed. Or, to try to keep getting more little by little. Disabled vets, then all Vets that served honorably, then their widows, kids, parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, then cousins. Do it for the veterans! What? Do you hate America or something?

That could be a way to get us closer towards a government that is payed for by the users of the services rendered, sales taxes, and tariffs on imported goods from out of state, or out of country. Buy a non U.S. made good? 10% sales tax. Made in the U.S. but not made in Colorado? 5% tax. Made in Colorado? 1% tax. Decide to use the courts? Schools? Fire or Police Department services? You get to pay for those optional government services by the hour.
