Fair Share Idaho

Idaho’s underfunded education system needs more money. Idaho’s taxation system needs repair. When income tax rates are lowered, and special interests are exempt from sales taxes, schools lose. Fair Share Idaho proposes to rectify these problems by lowering the sales tax and eliminating 31 sales tax exemptions. Citizens need to understand that everyone is not paying their fair share; when they do, they can demand that the legislature make our tax system fairer and adequately fund education.
