Kevin McCarthy: 亚利桑那州税务研究协会 (ATRA) 的主要职责是监督州和地方政府的财政支出和税收，确保立法者了解税收政策对纳税人和征税实体的影响。ATRA 积极参与立法过程，审查法案并提供专业意见。在预算方面，众议院拨款委员会主席 Regina Cobb 和参议员 Vince Leach、David Gowan 表现出色。ATRA 是一个非党派组织，致力于影响纳税人的州级倡议，并为所有政治派别提供公正的税务信息。关于亚利桑那州的 2.5% 统一税率，这是历史上最大规模的减税，旨在减轻 208 号提案（提高个人所得税）造成的损害。减税措施是对 208 号提案的回应，旨在减轻其对经济发展和增长的负面影响。完全取消所得税可能对亚利桑那州的税收体系造成冲击，因为房地产税和销售税系统无法承担额外的负担。消除所得税并将其负担转移到房地产税上，将会对亚利桑那州的经济发展造成严重的挑战。亚利桑那州的销售税税率很高，这可能会对经济产生负面影响。美国最高法院的 Wayfair 案对亚利桑那州的税收收入产生了积极影响，因为它允许对在线销售征税。Wayfair 案每年为亚利桑那州增加约 3 亿美元的税收收入。亚利桑那州的房地产税系统对企业征税过重，这部分原因是为了补贴房主选民。特定的房地产税豁免政策对亚利桑那州的公平性和经济发展造成了负面影响。菲尼克斯市中心的财产税是斯科茨代尔的的两倍，这反映了长期以来在税收负担方面的错误决策。自上世纪 90 年代初以来，亚利桑那州百万富翁纳税人的数量大幅增加，这与降低所得税税率有关。亚利桑那州的“税收真相”法案旨在提高税收的透明度和公众参与度。超过 25% 的税率会对人们的收入和决策产生重大影响。 Sam Stone: 税收是衡量人们对政府需求的重要指标。透明的税收制度有助于提高公众对政府支出的参与度。 Chuck Warren: 与 Sam Stone 的讨论补充了 Kevin McCarthy 的观点，并提出了一些关于税收政策对亚利桑那州经济和社会的影响的额外问题。
