“every parent wants to leave their children better off than they were. But as our Government makes it more and more difficult for people to leave the product of their hard work to their loved ones, this American dream is becoming almost impossible. As hard-working men and women reach retirement, they are forced to sell their farms or small businesses because they cannot afford the death tax. Our Taxpayer Relief Act fosters the American dream by lowering this tax and other tax burdens on the shoulders of working men and women. Clearly the best thing we can do for future generations is to help strengthen our economy, and we can do this by giving every homeowner, every inventor, every farmer and small businessman incentives to invest in America's neighborhoods and workplaces. The Republican Taxpayer Relief Act is good for American families, and I urge my colleagues and the liberal Democrats on the other side to stop the distortions, stop the rhetoric, and start supporting real tax relief for the American people.”
