Lies & Confusion vs. Truth & Clarity
The controversy Katie Hobbs is creating over her declaration that Andy Biggs wants to impose a 23% tax on all Arizonans is a political hit job. The concept was originally a federal piece of legislation proposed in the U.S. Congress by Buddy Carter in 2023, called the Fair Tax Act. It was a proposal to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and replace federal income taxes with a 23% sales tax. The idea was to reduce taxes for the majority of Americans. It had the backing of Congressman Andy Biggs and the Freedom Caucus.
It has nothing to do with the state of Arizona and is not part of Andy’s platform. He has never brought it up. Instead he is thinking outside the box. Biggs is proposing that the state gradually phase out the state income tax so Arizona can compete with other Sun Belt states who have no income taxes, such as Texas, Florida and Tennessee. He believes Arizona can make up the difference of $5.94 billion in the next fiscal year by slashing waste and fraud, making agencies more efficient, and monetizing assets like state trust lands. He stated that these measures can work without ever touching or raising any other tax.
Andy is an Arizona native who loves this state. He is fighting to make it the gold standard for freedom in America. He has proven his tenacity while serving AZ-05 in Congress since 2016. He stood up to Joe Biden and has never surrendered when it comes to securing our borders, lowering our taxes, and putting Arizona first.. Andy is a proven fighter for the American people as his congressional record proves and he is endorsed by the late Charlie Kirk and President Trump.
At the AZ Free Summit on Saturday, the 12th, Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida not only gave an inspiring speech outlining how he came from the House Freedom Caucus to become the champion of freedom and individual rights in Florida. He made Florida the envy of the nation with his policies. Today, Florida has 1.5 million more Republicans and turned a Blue leaning state in 2018 into a deep Red State with smart legislation. He said today we have that same opportunity to turn Arizona Red again!
The neo-Marxists who are running for office all over America plan to take political control and will collapse cities and states. Katie Hobbs is a weak puppet of the left without a moral compass. She has been corrupt since the day she took office, vetoing good legislation that would prosper Arizona in favor of her own Democrat agenda. She is still under investigation for her “pay to play schemes” worth millions of dollars.
DeSantis urged us to be bold and to go on offense. He has worked with Andy Biggs in Congress and knows the caliber of man he is. Andy will do for Arizona what DeSantis has done for Florida by cutting waste, working with the legislature to pass laws that prosper Arizona, and upholding the principles that once made our state a shining example of prosperity and freedom.
Arizona is the state of leaders like Senator Barry Goldwater, Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’ Conner, and Governor Jan Brewer who left a legacy of fighting Barack Obama to protect Arizona’s border security. It is up to us to get the message out, to vote, and to encourage our Republican and Independent friends and neighbors to do the same! The destiny of our state depends on it!
