Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said he favors eliminating his state’s income tax during a conservative conference on Friday.
Taxes act as penalties and taxing income discourages people from trying to earn more, Polis argued at the conference hosted by the Steamboat Institute, a conservative think tank. The governor acknowledged that eliminating the income tax is “easier said than done” but that it would result in economic benefits.
