We, the undersigned, demand that Congress permanently repeal the Federal Estate Tax (a.k.a. Death Tax).  We hold that:

The Death Tax Destroys Family Businesses and Farms:

• one-third of all small business owners wind up selling some or all of their businesses due to the death tax;
• Family businesses are often sold off in part or whole to pay the tax;
• 70% of family businesses do not survive the second generation and 87% do not survive the third generation.

The Death Tax Hurts American Workers:

• Repealing the Death Tax would create 1.5 million jobs;
• The tax wastes billions in small business capital each year – the source of new jobs and economic growth – to pay expensive compliance costs.

The Death Tax is Unjust:

• It punishes savings and investing, but rewards consumption;
• It is double taxation.

The Death Tax Handicaps America:

• Prior to the temporary 2010 repeal, the U.S. had one of the highest death taxes in the world;
• Most other nations - including China and Russia - do not impose a death tax;

The Death Tax has done enough damage.  It is time for Congress to permanently repeal this unjust tax once and for all.
