Walberg: Protect Michigan Families, Repeal Unfair Death Tax

Statement

Date: April 16, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Taxes

Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07) released the following statement after voting to repeal the death tax. In a letter to Congress, 81 organizations in the Family Business Coalition write that this "legislation will help America's family businesses create jobs, expand operations, and grow the economy."

"Of all the countless unfair provisions in the tax code, the death tax ranks near the top. Family farms and small businesses should not be forced to pay the tax man at the same time they are mourning a loved one, for savings that have already been taxed once, if not twice. Repealing the death tax is the right thing to do for job creation, our economy, and all the hard-working families who pass down greater opportunity to the next generation," said Walberg.
