Congressman Mike Bost (IL-12) voted for several bills to cut down on burdensome federal regulations on small businesses and to give taxpayers a "Bill of Rights" in dealing with the IRS.

"As a small business owner myself, I've seen firsthand how the overreach of the IRS and high taxes can take the incentive and lifeblood out of job creators who want nothing more than to expand operations and hire new employees," said Rep. Bost. "We're punishing our businesses and discouraging investment, and it needs to stop now."

"That being said, there may be no more insidious tax on hardworking Americans than the "Death Tax.' After folks work a lifetime to provide for their family, the last thing the federal government should be worried about is taking a cut out of the money they leave to their children and grandchildren when they pass away. We need to bury the Death Tax, permanently."
