Political Quotes

“I believe that the question that our Republican friends joined by one of my colleagues from Georgia just now need to answer, is if they are so much against the so-called death tax, why is it that this morning they are so modest, so timid, indeed so fearful of providing relief now to the small businesses and the family farms? The real problem with their "repeal" is that it does not actually repeal anything any time soon. I heard just now my colleague refer to service stations and funeral homes. How much relief do all of these supporters of the repeal of the death tax provide for such enterprises? Well, I heard the 55 percent tax described as confiscatory, and under their repeal, what relief do all of those people get next year that have been coming around, that have been stirred up by all of these Republican lobby groups to repeal the death tax? Well, they certainly do not get repeal. Anyone who dies next year, they are going to get an amazing amount of relief. The confiscatory 55 percent tax will be lowered all the way down to 53 percent.”
