Here’s an EPIC Option for fixing the tax code The past two weeks in this space we have looked at our abysmal tax system and I have hammered on the principle that the government should promote economic productivity, not penalize it.

(State government statistics show 40 percent of Nebraskans pay no income or property taxes.)

I am thrilled to be taking on this new journey as the Band Director for Central City Public Schools. I grew up on a farm with my sister and my parents near North Loup, NE and attended Ord High School. In high school I was very involved in the arts, cross country and track. I recently graduated from Midland University where I was actively involved in band, jazz band, choir, a capella, and theatre. I was president of the Alpha-Alpha chapter of Beta Sigma Psi and vice president of our honorary theatre society, Alpha Psi Omega. After student teaching 5-12 music in Arlington, I was fortunate to land this amazing job with the Bison Band. I have really enjoyed getting to know the staff and students of Central City, and I am happy to be a part of this community.

The power to tax is the power to destroy,” said U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall who served from 1801 to 1835. With the state and federal government growing every year, the need for more of your money grows as well! This reality becomes even more disturbing when the government’s version of values and ethics runs counter to one’s own beliefs and morals. In fact, as Thomas Jefferson said, “To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
