Tony Buntyn signs the Taxpayer Protection Pledge
Jul 28, 2010Congressional candidate promises to protect taxpayers’ wallets
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Tony Buntyn, a Republican running in Florida’s 11th Congressional district, recently signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge sponsored by Americans for Tax Reform (ATR). The Pledge commits signers to “oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rates for individuals and/or businesses … and oppose any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates.”
“I’ve pledged not to raise taxes and to fight against any and all tax increases,” said Tony Buntyn. “We must have a tax system in America that is flatter and fairer for everyone.”
ATR has offered the Pledge to all candidates for federal office since 1987. To date, 34 U.S. senators and 172 members of the U.S. House of Representatives have signed the Pledge. Additionally, seven Governors and over 1,100 state legislators have signed the Pledge.
“After the passage of the so-called “Stimulus Package,” better known as the Pelosi-Obama-Reid Spending Give-Away, Americans are desperately searching for candidates and politicians that will protect their livelihoods and put their wallets ahead of the federal government’s coffers,” said Grover Norquist, president of ATR.
“By signing the Pledge, Tony Buntyn demonstrates that he understands the problems of hard-working taxpayers nationwide, but especially the taxpayers in Florida’s 11th district.”
“I challenge all candidates for federal office to make the same commitment to taxpayers by signing the Taxpayer Protection Pledge today,” Norquist continued.
