Dying should not be a taxable event.

Death just shouldn't be a taxable event.

The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.

The death tax is unfair, inefficient, economically unsound and, frankly, immoral.

The American people are not just being taxed to death; they're being taxed after death. But, no one should have to sell the life's work of a parent or a loved one just to pay the federal government.

The bottom line is that the death tax is a tax on the economy because it slows economic growth.

The death tax should be completely and permanently repealed now in order to make the Tax Code fairer and simpler and to eliminate the harmful drag this tax has on the economy.

But we need to quit taxing people upon death. No taxation without respiration.

They say death and taxes are the only things that are inevitable. The truth is, you can not pay your taxes. I've done it, and there's consequences, but it can be done. Death you're not going to get out of, and you kind of got to deal with it.

The death tax destroys family businesses and stifles investment that leads to increases in jobs and personal income. As a result, 70 percent of family-owned businesses are not passed on to the next generation and 87 percent do not make it to the third generation.
