"Jason does not support any sales or income tax. That includes the sales and income taxes we have today. That 9% you pay the state for the privilege of eating a meal is a sales tax, whether they call it one or not. The tax you pay the state on your interest and dividends every year is an income tax. The .75 per cent tax your employer pays on your wages is an income tax, whether they call it one or not. This is your money and you deserve to keep it. Jason will fight to put it back into your pocket."

"Bill after bill comes before the New Hampshire Congress to abridge and infringe on the rights of our citizens. The first and second amendments state very clearly that the rights of the people are owned by them. Jason will oppose any such bill seeking to infringe upon our rights and will support any bill seeking to repeal existing infringements."
