What Washington Takes from You
Every paycheck, before you see it
The federal income tax is taken from your wages before the money ever hits your bank account. You never hold it. You never decide what to do with it. Washington takes its cut first and leaves you whatever is left. Chris Gleason believes you should keep what you earn and decide for yourself how to spend it.
80,000 pages of tax code
The federal tax code is so complex that Americans spend over 6 billion hours a year just trying to comply with it. Small businesses spend more on tax compliance than they do on health insurance for their employees. The system is not designed to collect revenue fairly. It is designed to keep an army of lobbyists, accountants, and IRS agents employed.
Regulations that kill jobs
Federal regulations cost American businesses and consumers an estimated $2 trillion a year. For every small business owner in Florida trying to hire one more person, there is a stack of federal paperwork standing between that job and the person who needs it. Washington does not create jobs. It creates obstacles to jobs.
Energy prices you can't afford
Florida families pay more for gas, electricity, and groceries because Washington would rather appease activists than produce American energy. The United States sits on more recoverable energy than any nation on earth. We should be using it, not importing it, and the savings should go to Florida families, not foreign governments.
What Chris Will Do

Get government out of the way and let Floridians build.

Abolish the Federal Income Tax
Eliminate the federal income tax and replace it with a national sales tax on purchases other than food, clothing, medicine, and medical supplies. You keep your whole paycheck. You pay tax only when you choose to spend, and the essentials your family depends on are completely exempt. No more withholding. No more filing. No more paying an accountant hundreds of dollars to figure out how much of your own money you get to keep. Floridians already know this works. Florida has no state income tax and one of the strongest economies in the country.
Cut Taxes for Families and Small Businesses
Until the income tax is abolished, fight for immediate tax cuts for working families and small businesses. Raise the standard deduction. Expand the child tax credit. Lower the small business tax rate. Every dollar Washington takes from a Florida family is a dollar that family cannot spend on groceries, rent, or their children's future.
Slash Job-Killing Regulations
Eliminate the federal rules that exist only to protect large corporations from competition. For every new regulation, kill at least two existing ones. Sunset all major regulations after five years so they must be re-justified or they expire. The best jobs program in the world is getting the federal government out of the way of the people who create jobs.
Unleash American Energy
Open federal lands and waters for energy production. Streamline permitting. Achieve full energy independence so Florida families pay less for gas, electricity, and everything that gets shipped on a truck. American energy produced by American workers for American families. When energy is cheap, everything is cheaper.
Bring Manufacturing Back to America
Make it cheaper to build things in America than to import them. Use tariffs, tax policy, and regulatory relief to bring factories back to Florida and every state in the union. Every product built in America is a job for an American worker, a paycheck for an American family, and one less dollar sent to a foreign country that does not have our interests at heart.

Washington took $4.4 trillion from working families last year. Chris Gleason wants to give every cent back.

The IRS collected more money last year than the GDP of Germany. Imagine what happens when that money stays in your pocket.

The Choice
Washington's Way
Taxes
Take it from your paycheck before you see it. Add 80,000 pages of code to make sure you can't figure out how much they took.
Regulations
Add new rules every year. Never remove old ones. Make it so expensive to comply that small businesses can't afford to hire.
Energy
Block domestic production. Import from countries that hate us. Tell Florida families to pay more and use less.
Jobs
Ship factories overseas. Celebrate trade deals that benefit multinational corporations. Wonder why Main Street is dying.
Gleason's Plan
Taxes
Abolish the income tax. Replace it with a sales tax that exempts food, clothing, and medicine. You keep your whole paycheck.
Regulations
Kill two for every new one. Sunset the rest after five years. If it can't be re-justified, it dies.
Energy
Produce American energy on American land with American workers. Use the savings to lower costs for Florida families.
Jobs
Make it cheaper to build in Florida than in China. Tariffs, tax cuts, and regulatory relief that bring factories home.
“

Floridians already live without a state income tax, and we have one of the strongest economies in America. Imagine what happens when we do the same thing at the federal level. You keep your whole paycheck. You pay tax only when you choose to spend. And the food on your table, the clothes on your kids, and the medicine that keeps your family healthy are never taxed at all.

Florida doesn't have a state income tax. It's time to end the federal one too.

Every dollar fuels the fight. Every volunteer multiplies our reach. Florida deserves a Senator who answers to the people.
