The following are bullet points of Alan Keyes position on Taxation and Government Spending as posted on his campaign website:

• No "reform" of the income tax system can "correct its fundamental denial of control over our own money."
• "Only the abolition of the income tax will restore the basic American principle that our income is both our own money and our own private business — not the government's."
• "Replacing the income tax with a national sales tax would rejuvenate independence and responsibility in our citizens."
• "A national sales tax would also put the American citizen back in control of fiscal policy. The best way to curtail government spending is to cut taxes, because they can't spend what they don't get."
• Add "a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, with barriers to both borrowing and spending, is the best way to secure budget discipline."
