Limited Government and Tax Burden Spar Over Montana View
In a Montana discussion, Anderson argued for limited government to cut taxes and avoid reliance on federal programs, while Helding urged rethinking state taxes. He noted Montana tops western states in state and local taxes per $1,000 income, high property taxes, and rising unemployment funds, with federal aid masking costs. The talk warned that high government spending stifles growth and personal initiative.
