“Beyond the practicalities, the underlying issue is, is it fair? Is it right? A bigger exemption does not solve the basic unfairness. A greater exclusion, lowering rates, none of that really deals with the underlying issue. It is an unfair tax. It taxes success. It taxes accomplishment. It taxes that which is the American dream. For that reason, we need to get rid of it. We don't need a mirage for the American people. We need it to be real. We can make it real by supporting the Gramm-Kyl amendment. I thank my colleague for the time and the opportunity to speak in favor of his amendment.”
