Stand with AFP Arkansas
Grow Jobs NOT Government
Capital Gains Investment Tax Reduction: SUPPORT
When it comes to creating new jobs, Arkansas is at a competitive disadvantage. Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Missouri, Mississippi and Louisiana have eliminated or have reduced the job killing capital gains tax. Arkansas has the opportunity to do the same by passing HB 1002. According to the Wall Street Journal, “Businesses in high tax states invest less…and this leads to lower productivity and eventually lower average pay for workers.” Let’s invest in Arkansas future by growing jobs, NOT government!
Uncommitted Votes: Sen. Paul Bookout (Jonesboro), Sen. Linda Chesterfield (Little Rock), Sen. Jerry Taylor (Pine Bluff), Sen. Larry Teague (Nashville). Senate Phone 501-682-2902.

Billion Dollar Diesel Tax INCREASE: OPPOSE
HB1902: A bill that increases Arkansas’ diesel tax to 7.7 cents HIGHER than all of our surrounding states (Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Mississippi). Diesel taxes are almost entirely passed on to consumers in higher cost of retail goods including food, clothing, office supplies, etc. (according to a Stanford University study conducted in March of 2010.1) For every one cent diesel tax increase per gallon, Arkansas consumers face an increase retail price of 1.09 cents. Because Arkansas has the third highest per capita recipients of social security payments in the United States, just over 20% of our population2, the burden will be felt most significantly by those living on fixed incomes.

Remember, states with more economic freedom grow faster, have better wages and better quality of life. Let’s get government out of the way and work together to grow jobs, not government!
