KASICH
TAX POLICIES
“According to Policy Matters Ohio, since 2013
[John] Kasich's policies, including a higher sales tax
and cigarette tax, have raised average annual taxes on
the state's poorest fifth by seventeen dollars, given
middle-income people a ninety-four-dollar cut, and
returned seventeen thousand dollars to members of the
one per cent. "’We've engineered a tax shift to
lower-and middle-income Ohioans," [Zach] Schiller said.

‘And we've reduced overall tax revenue.’"
