Max Baucus: “Personally, I do not support full repeal of the estate tax. I support reforming the tax so it protects our family farms…”

On the recordMay 21, 2001
Personally, I do not support full repeal of the estate tax. I support reforming the tax so it protects our family farms, ranches and other businesses. I understand the Senator is going to offer an amendment later today that will eliminate full repeal, while addressing the concerns of family businesses. I intend to support that amendment.
