Steve Sauerberg, MD,
Republican Candidate for US Senate

TAXES AND SPENDING


"As a family doctor and lifelong resident of Illinois I understand that high taxes are forcing our families to make extremely tough decisions over their mortgages, college tuitions or something as simple as filling up the gas tank. Dick Durbin's repeated votes to increase our tax burden are only contributing to the problem. We should always trust individuals and families to spend their money better than the government, and I will provide Illinoisans with the leadership necessary to protect Illinois taxpayers and ensure they receive back their fair share from the federal government."

In order to revitalize the econony, we must:

  1. Make the 2001 and 2003 Tax Cuts Permanent and Continue Saving the Average Illinois Taxpayer Over $2,200 Every Year. With the recent volatility in both the stock and housing markets, we must cut taxes for hard-working families, individuals and seniors. Steve Sauerberg will make the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, which have saved the average Illinois taxpayer over $2,200 every year since their adoption, permanent! Making these tax cuts permanent would not only put more money in the pockets of Illinois taxpayers, but it would also add over 33,000 new jobs every year to the Illinois economy for the next six years.
  2. Enact the summer holiday gas tax. This will not only decrease the cost of gas, but it will also decrease the cost of food and products whose prices are affected by rising gas expenses. This will enable hard-working families to keep more of their money in their wallets rather than in their gas tanks.

Important Information:
Contributions are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. Federal Election Law requires us to report the name, address, occupation, and employer for contributions that aggregate in excess of $200 in an election cycle. The maximum an individual may contribute is $2,300 per election, with the primary and general elections treated separately. As a result, any initial contribution up to $2,300 is designated for the primary and any additional amount is designated for the general, up to a total of $4600 per person. A couple may contribute $9,200, designated per person in accordance with the preceding sentence. Federal multi-candidate PACs may contribute $5,000 for the primary and $5,000 for the general. Contributions from corporations, labor organizations, federal government contractors, and foreign nationals without permanent residency status ("green cards") are prohibited.
