The National Tax Limitation Committee (NTLC) has been at work since 1975. We are one of the longest standing and strategically oriented pro-taxpayer/entrepreneur organizations in America. NTLC grew out of work which Founder and President Lew Uhler did for then-Governor Ronald Reagan to constitutionally limit the growth of taxes and spending year over year in order to control the size of government (Proposition 1, California, 1973). In late summer of 1978, believing that the time had arrived to begin work at the federal level, we reconvened many members of the Proposition 1 task force, including Milton Friedman, Bill Niskanen, Craig Stubblebine, and others. The federal spending amendment emerged. After months of careful deliberation, the Tax Limitation/Balanced Budget Amendment was fashioned. Our goal continues, as we incorporate taxpayer support to effect state and federal spending limits.
