FreedomWorks strongly believes that the death tax should be completely and permanently repealed in order to make the tax code fairer and simpler, and to eliminate the harmful drag this tax has on the economy.

The Death Tax punishes the American values of saving and investment by penalizing individuals for saving, investing, and building successful farms and businesses.

The Death Tax is a Tax on American Values.

It Punishes:

• Savings
• Families
• Investment in capital

The Death Tax is Anti-Job.

• The Death Tax is a leading cause of dissolution for most small businesses.

The Death Tax collects little revenue.

• Death Tax revenue amounts to only 1.5% of federal revenue.
• According to the Cato Institute, compliance with the Death Tax costs the economy of what the Treasury collects.

The Death Tax is unfair.

• Americans overwhelmingly agree it is wrong to tax property and earnings that have already been taxed before.
• A McLaughlin & Associates poll released on March 9, 2001 revealed that 90 percent of seniors feel it is wrong to tax earnings both when they are earned and again upon death.
