SB1577 would direct the Arizona Department of Revenue to reduce the individual income tax rate by 50% of the structural surplus for each taxable year beginning with TY 2024.
The House failed to pass SB1577 on June 12, 2023, by a vote of 29 to 31. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the income tax is an immoral, anti-constitutional act of government-imposed theft that takes from citizens the wages they have rightfully earned. It disparages the principles of both the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment, which were intended to safeguard “private property” and guarantee “equal protection of the laws” for all Americans.
