“This act is about more than economic policy or numbers. It is about fairness. It is about family preservation. We are trying to protect their heritage and their culture. In Nebraska, family farms date back to the great-great-grandparents who were pioneers, yet these taxes force smaller farms to sell to the Ted Turners of the world. And in Omaha, my hometown, second and third generation family shops like print shops or the Hispanic grocery store where they migrated here 40 years ago to live the American dream which were built with the family's sweat and the toil and the sacrifice, must be sold now upon the death of the father or the mother to pay the death taxes. This act is about fairness. It is about preserving family history and culture. Please preserve this family culture. Vote for this bill.”
