This came out of the republin spin camp. Just wondering how everyone feels about the death tax. To me it makes no sense and if the money was taxed once it seems like double taxation.
President Bush and Republicans in Congress have championed a pro-growth agenda that has brought tax relief to millions of Americans. Historic legislation in 2001 and 2003 put America on the track to economic growth, and today our economic outlook is bright. There is more work to do, however, to ensure that tax-paying Americans can keep more of their own hard-earned income.
Tomorrow, Senators will debate a key issue in our effort to keep our economy strong, the elimination of the death tax. The death tax is an unfair double taxation of income, which hurts America's small businesses and farms and threatens job growth. Its elimination will lower the tax burden on families and promote fairness and economic growth. Unfortunately, this tax relief expires at the end of 2010. It is time for this regressive and unfair tax to end. It is time to kill the Death Tax.
Our party's opportunity agenda means allowing families to keep more of the money they earn. The historic tax relief in the President's first term was only the beginning. Americans deserve a tax code that is simple and fair. The Senate needs to do its part by making tax relief permanent and burying the death tax forever.
