NAN A. S. HAYWORTH: “Mindful of that as a broadcaster, the old time clock on the wall, it is important for us to pass permanent repeal, no…”

“Mindful of that as a broadcaster, the old time clock on the wall, it is important for us to pass permanent repeal, no matter the siren song of seduction saying ``let us set a temporary level that will accommodate some folks.'' Maybe this is a fundamental philosophical difference. When you get in the realm of targeted tax cuts, you are asking this Federal Government to pick winners and losers, and you do nothing for the business owners, the grocery store owners, the farm machinery dealership owners, the automobile dealership owners, who have significant capital sunk into that business, who literally are asset-rich and cash-poor. You exacerbate the problem. Our purpose is not to set American against American, not to get wrapped up in the I believe ultimately misguided notion of class warfare, but to allow everyone to succeed. There is one other note undergirding all of this. It is especially pronounced in Arizona, where one of our local newspapers is concerned about the price of sprawl at an acre an hour. Why do you think farms are being sold off? To satisfy the death tax. Gone is a lot of our agricultural land. That is a real problem in States like Arizona and Florida and across the country. That is another reason to make this repeal permanent.”
