Money is a big part of life, for it buys a vast range of freedoms and pleasures; and government steals a great deal (about 40%) of the money you earn. Elect me Governor, and I will enable you to take back nearly all that stolen money, that stolen part of your life.
Overview
First, an overview of the wreckage they cause. Out of every $100 you earn, you and I now lose about $40, leaving us with only $60 to spend as we wish. The $40 they steal is made up as follows:
48% to the Feds directly (on Line 53 of your 1040 Form)
10% to the State of New Hampshire (via business, meals & room taxes...)
---
58% = the subtotal I will reduce to zero if you elect me Governor
27% to your Town as Property taxes (which I will try to eliminate
also)
---
85% = the subtotal I hope to reduce to zero during my 2-year term
15% to the Feds indirectly (via corporate taxes, borrowing etc)
----
100%
-----
That last 15% I cannot touch, as Governor (sorry!) But the 58% of your taxes that I will eliminate will mean that your spendable income will rise from $60 per $100 earned, up to $83; an increase of (83/60 =) 38%.
I hope you agree that a 38% net-pay hike is worth your time to write-in a vote for Jim Davies for Governor.
Additionally, I'll show how you can zap the property tax as well. In fact, I expect to dispose of the two top taxes above in my first week, leaving almost the whole of my remaining 2-year term to work hard to negate the prop-tax, which in some ways is the most evil of all and you'd have to help. If we succeeded, you would be able to take back another $11 per $100, for a total take-home pay of $94 instead of $60, which is an increase of (94/60 =) 57%
To put that differently, I'd be enabling you to take back 100% of the direct Federal taxes you're paying, plus 100% of the State taxes, plus (with a certain amount of effort and good fortune) up to 100% of the Property taxes; for a total of 85% of all the tax you now pay.
Summary: elect me, and I will zeroize between 58% and 85% of your taxes.
(a) Direct Federal Tax (48% of all the tax you now pay)
This is surrendered each April on the IRS 1040 Form, and I urge you to take back every cent of it, starting now (yes, even before I'm elected!)
In simplest summary, you do so by filing a "zero return" to the IRS. That is, on your 1040 you declare that you had a zero income. You can truthfully do that, because the legal definition of the word "income" is, "corporate profit". Since you are not a Corporation and had no Corporate Profit, you had no "income" as defined in Law for tax purposes. Therefore, you pay no tax.
So there's a big round zero on Line 53 ("total tax") and, if you allowed your employer to with-hold any tax, a large refund of it all, due on Line 62a.
You can instruct your employer to with-hold none in the first place, by filing an "EXEMPT" W-4 form. That's because legally, you're not liable for any tax on your earnings. None of us are. Earnings are NOT "corporate profit."
Naturally, the government doesn't like you and me discovering this well-hidden secret, and the IRS can get quite antsy when we do. But - thanks to the costly and dedicated work of great heroes of freedom like Mr Irwin Schiff - there is now very little they can do about it. Criminal prosecutions have been stopped almost cold, and seizures of property are becoming less and less likely.
The difference I would make as your Governor is that I would make them even less likely yet. That is, I'd reduce your risks to very close to zero.

(b) State Taxes (10% of all the tax you now pay)
There are 11 different types, and on Day One of my administration all of them will cease to exist as taxes; they will become voluntary payments instead, as explained below. They include Business Profits Tax, Meals & Room Tax, Interest & Dividends Tax, Tobacco Tax, etc etc.
Although the checks are almost all written by businesses, every cent comes of course from you and me; they are just buried in the prices those businesses (restaurants, for example) have to charge. They are passed through to us.
They are all enforced by means of State Law. Today, if someone doesn't pay, the State Department of Revenue Services will start a prosecution against him and, if a jury finds him guilty of breaking that Law, he'll suffer fines and prison terms as well as having to pay the tax itself.
But under a Davies administration that will disappear, for I will do two things to make such punishment impossible:
(i) I will tell all potential jurors, over and over starting now, that they are NOT obliged to follow the judge's directions, NOR to impose the Law if they think it improper; that they should judge every case on the basis of conscience alone.
(ii) If anyone is ever convicted (despite all that) of a "victimless crime" (that's any action without an identified victim) then I will automatically issue a Governor's Pardon. A refusal to pay tax is a victimless action, so that applies.
Since it will then be impossible to obtain a successful prosecution, no such actions will be brought. The State Tax Laws will still be on the books (no governor has any power to remove them) but they will be "dead letters"; unenforcible.
Since any tax is a "forced exaction" or extraction, when this becomes unenforcible it will cease to be a tax. It will become a voluntary payment. When you and I stop patronizing businesses (eg restaurants) that continue to charge the tax, they will very soon get the message and stop volunteering.

(c) The Property Tax (27% of all the tax you now pay)
This steals from you about $11 for every $100 you earn, and is collected by Towns. About 75% of it is spent on the government school monopoly, for a separate discussion of which see here.
It's by far the most sinister tax of all, because it's not enforced by a Law (for breaking which you could be tried but acquitted, as under "State Taxes" above) - instead, they just take away your house if you refuse to pay.
Their alleged "right" to do that is, for sure, established by State Law - but as your Governor I cannot repeal any laws. And since no criminal prosecution is carried out here, I can't make these unenforcible either.
So it's pure extortion, worse than anything the Mafia ever reputedly does.
Despite all that, the solution is in your hands, right now - and I shall use my "Jimmy Pulpit" (that's the Governor's "bully pulpit", except I'll not be bullying anyone) to call, over and over, for you and others to organize in your towns and start voting your self-interest in Town meetings to rid us all of this pestilential tax - or at least, of as much of it as pays for the government school monopoly.
