Mark Oxner's Taxation Facts Label

Via DaTechGuy, here's Mark Oxners's plan to inform the public about taxes.

Oxner is proposing a tax label, similar to the nutritional label on food, showing how much you're paying in taxes for a specific product.

When I’m elected to Congress, I’ll work with my colleagues to draft and introduce the Truth in Taxation Act. The Truth in Taxation Act will task a non-partisan agency (such as the Government Accounting Office) to calculate the entire federal tax burden that makes up the price of individual products. The legislation will then require that information to be printed upon the labels of those products or on sales receipts. 

In exactly the same way that federal law now requires certain products to provide nutrition information, we should require those same products to be labeled with taxation information.

That way, taxpayers can see how much they pay in taxes every time they go to the store. It will make them mad. Every bill they receive – from utilities to carpet cleaning – will make then even madder.

 This is yet another reason to vote for Oxner.

I like a snarky politician.

The Clear Choice for Congress in FL-9: Mark Oxner

If you're in Florida's Ninth Congressional District, there's a potent candidate who's running against the Idiot Alan Grayson.

Moe Lane over at RedState interviewed him recently.




Mark pushes all my political buttons: he wants to repeal ObamaCare, he's for the Keystone Pipeline and for developing American energy, he's for deregulation, and he recognizes the role that the awful Community Reinvestment Act played in the Great Housing Crash of 2008.

As he states in this interview, "I'm a free market guy."

That is enough for me. Plus, he worked in a welding shop alongside his dad.

His site is here. If you're in his district, vote for him on August 14th.
