Media Alert: Lowering state income tax could bolster ND’s economy
North Dakota Watchdog Network’s Dustin Gawrylow says he’s surprised State Republican leadership is coming out so strongly on this.
“It is refreshing that instead of the usual grandiose spending proposals, that they are coming out with a general tax spending reform,” said North Dakota Watchdog Network’s Founder and President Dustin Gawrylow.
Gawrylow has been working for more than a decade with other politicos, including former Governor Ed Schafer, to bring down the state income tax.
“Income tax is a tax on productivity, it’s a tax on labor. That’s not necessarily the most fair way to do it, in my opinion,” explained Gawrylow
Gawrylow is in favor of taxing consumption rather than income.
“We want to promote the idea that North Dakota is a place that we’re not going to punish you for making more money. We’re going to tax you when you spend your money,” Gawrylow said.
