National Taxpayers Union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
National Taxpayers Union (NTU) is a pro-taxpayers advocacy organization in the United States, founded in 1969 by James Dale Davidson. It is closely affiliated with a non-profit foundation, the National Taxpayers Union Foundation (NTUF). According to the 990 forms of NTUF, the NTU and NTUF share staff, facilities, website and board members. Dr. John E. Berthoud is president of both the NTU and the NTUF, and Dave Stanley is chairman of both groups.
The group is best known for its work to enact constitutional limits on government taxes, spending and debt. It played a major role in passage of Federal income tax indexing, so inflation no longer bumps taxpayers into higher brackets. It also played a major role in passage of "Taxpayer Bill of Rights" laws that help to safeguard against IRS abuses and legislation protecting innocent spouses from having to pay tax debts.
