Democratic leadership has made San Diego unaffordable for many San Diegans. Radical liberal policies promoting higher prices, taxes and out-of-control spending have brought a cost-of-living crisis to low and middle-income families. Our families need relief, not additional hardship.
The Republican Party of San Diego County and our elected officials will stand strong against these attacks on low and middle-income earners across this county by opposing tax increases. The prospect of higher taxes translates into diminished opportunities for savings, investment, and upward mobility, perpetuating cycles of financial insecurity and widening economic disparities.
The surge in proposed tax increases is not just disheartening; it's alarming. Tax hikes threaten to make life in San Diego County significantly more expensive, adding to the already burdensome cost of living for individuals and families.
"The implications of tax hikes reverberate far beyond mere numbers on a balance sheet; they profoundly affect the daily lives of hardworking individuals and families," declared Chairman Corey Gustafson. "With each additional tax burden, the cost of goods and services inevitably rises, creating a domino effect that ripples through the economy. From groceries to gas, housing to healthcare, every facet of life becomes more financially taxing, pushing the already stretched budgets of households to their limits.
This is a serious issue that we, as the Republican Party of San Diego County, are committed to addressing.
Beyond the immediate financial strain, the ripple effects of tax increases extend to local businesses, which face heightened operating costs and reduced consumer spending. Small and family-owned businesses, already grappling with the aftermath of pandemic-induced disruptions, find themselves navigating an increasingly challenging landscape, with higher taxes further impeding their ability to thrive and create jobs.
Voters can count on Republican leaders to fight for better government and lower taxes.
