In a statement released
late Tuesday, NFIB President Jack Faris
responded to Vice President Gore's death tax
proposal to end the inheritance tax for70
percent of all small business
owners.
While small business appreciates
the Vice President's attempt to hop a board our
death tax-relief bandwagon, we must continue to
urge him to support full repeal so all small
businesses can get the relief they need from
this punitive tax, Faris says.
The Vice
President claims that his plan will end the
death tax nightmare for 70 percent of small
business owners, but why stop there? Surely,
anyone with a family farm in Tennessee must know
that the job isn't done until 100 percent of the
cows are milked, 100 percent of the hay is
bailed and 100percent of the tobacco is cut.
Likewise, we should not be content until
100percent of family farmers, ranchers and small
business owners are free from this death
tax.
