Republican candidate for governor John Kasich continues to push the idea of phasing out Ohio's graduated state income tax, but he's refusing to put a time-frame on it, or single out a lot of government programs he thinks should be eliminated to pay for the tax cut. Kasich has just finished a half hour interview with Ohio Public Radio and TV's Karen Kasler and Bill Cohen. They pressed him on how realistic it would be to wipe out the income tax, since it brings in about 40% of all the tax revenue that state government collects, but Kasich contended that slashing taxes would attract new companies and jobs...and that new tax revenue would make up for the lost tax revenue. Here's an edited excerpt from the interview. |
