Stop the Great Tax Shift in North Carolina

The North Carolina General Assembly is proposing a great tax shift that would raise taxes on middle- and low-income North Carolinians while the wealthy and big profitable corporations get a tax cut. Current proposals would eliminate or significantly cut the personal and corporate income taxes and raise and expand the sales tax. This is not tax reform but a great tax shift.

They are already making headway in their effort. Just this week they voted to raise taxes on 900,000 low-income working families who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, while repealing the estate tax - which affects less than 123 estates valued at more than $5.25 million.


That's why I signed a petition to The North Carolina State House, The North Carolina State Senate, and Governor Pat McCrory.
