Death Tax Repeal Clinton
Vetoes Tax Relief for Family Owned Businesses
While members of Congress were back in their
districts during the August recess, President Clinton vetoed the Death Tax
Elimination Act, legislation which gives family businesses and farms much
needed relief from the IRS. This burdensome tax has devastated too many
family businesses, farms and personal savings. No section of the tax code
is more unfair and more dangerous to our entrepreneurial spirit than the
death tax. The death tax is simply double taxation. It punishes people who
build a successful business or farm and try to leave that legacy to their
kids. Click

Pappas school supporters turned out and by the conclusion of the hearing
it was clear that those who wanted to close the school were questioning
their own opposition. Click here to
