End the Death Tax Once and For All

End the Death Tax Once and For All

[TAKE ACTION NOW]

We are expecting the United States Senate to vote to permanently repeal the Death Tax next week. It is vital that you write your Senators and let them know there is no place for the government to tax individuals their entire life and then seize half of all their assets upon death. If the measure passes, the legislation will go to President Bush’s desk for his signature and will be a major victory for taxpayers to end this onerous and unfair tax once and for all.
Last year, the House of Representatives voted overwhelming to permanently repeal the onerous Death Tax 272-162. More than 40 Democrats joined with Republicans to end this immoral tax for good.
The vote next week will be good for not only taxpayers but also the economy. Small businesses and family farms are forced to sell their properties upon inheritance because the tax bill is so large. As a result, workers are losing their jobs because of the destructive tax. And when that happens, our local economy suffers.
Repeal of the death tax will result in an additional 225,000 jobs a year being created and will work to keep local jobs from being destroyed.
Tell Congress to End the Death Tax once and for all!
