Tax & Fiscal Policy
The Institute's guiding principle on tax and fiscal policy is that limited government and low taxation rates are the best recipe for economic prosperity. Over-taxation and excessive government regulation of economic activity are both antithetic to America's founding principles, and detrimental to economic growth. NPRI's mission on tax and fiscal policy is to advance the free-market principles that are essential to a prosperous society.
