Carl Zimmermann does NOT want a state income tax!

Contrary to recent television commercials and mailers sent out by Peter Nehr and the Republican Party of Florida that accuse Carl of supporting an income tax, Carl Zimmermann absolutely does not endorse or support such ideas.

Weaving the lie, Nehr bases his attacks on a question that was asked to Carl in June of this year. The question was posed to Carl was if he would support swapping all sales tax and property tax for a “progressive income tax”.

Carl’s response was: “is that the latest wacky idea?” People may recall that the members of the state Legislature had recently (at the time) proposed abolishing property taxes and replacing them with a much larger state sales tax. Carl, in the interview in question, went on to say that while an income tax is a progressive tax and the other taxes are regressive taxes, all the money in the world would not get more than 30% of the voters to approve it — a fact that would kill any and all tax measures at the polls. Carl went on to declare the need for the state to concentrate on solving problems now.

Peter Nehr’s accusations distort the facts and warp the context in effort to make sure voters don’t notice his lack of answer to the questions district residents face.

With less than 2 weeks until election day (of course, you can vote now) we’d like to remind everyone that you have a chance to be a part of this movement and become a part of Team Z.

We’re always looking for volunteers to both phone bank and canvass. We’d also like to point out that yard signs and bumper stickers are available upon request, or from campaign headquarters in Palm Harbor. It’s a great way to show your support for Carl and his campaign.

We also invite you to join our Facebook campaign page or add Carl as a friend on MySpace.

There is also only a week left to make financial contributions to the campaign. If interested, we encourage you to do so securely online.

Turnout has been high for early voting in Florida in general. It will certainly be higher on election day when the bulk of the populous goes to vote. Please consider voting early.
