Latest News on The Death Tax
From Dick Patten of AFBI:
The Death Tax fight is not slowing down one
bit.
Congress has just returned to Washington from its
Easter Recess, and already is discussing the Death Tax.
In the Congressional
Daily, a newspaper for Members of Congress and their staffers, I
explained our strategy to stop the Obama 45% Death Tax. You can read the full
article below.
The good news is that Congress realizes that the
American people are not going to stand for a permanent 45% Death Tax. Further,
the New York Times published a 2nd article saying that Obama's
agenda is vulnerable due to the Death Tax. This is evidence of a victory by
AFBI members.
Thank you for your excellent work over the past month -
it has paid off!
The bad news is that proto-socialist groups like "United
for a Fair Economy" (UFE) are pressuring Congress to keep or even increase the
Death Tax. They are in rage that Congress passed an amendment to lower the tax
to 35%. They are doing everything they can to overturn that amendment and
return the Death Tax to a "fair" (read: confiscatory) level.
Despite what you might assume, UFE and similar leftist
groups are very well-funded. That means they pose a real challenge to the fight
for the American dream. They have the support of Warren Buffett and his ilk in
their fight to redistribute the life-earnings of the American entrepreneur.
Chad, I need to ask you to help me counteract UFE and
stop their plans for a permanent 45% Death Tax.
First, I need to ask you to call your Senators if you
have not already done so. Make sure they know that you want them to fight for
American jobs and economic recovery - not redistribution of
wealth.
Second, I need you to forward this email on to three
friends, and ask them to visit www.nodeathtax.org and sign up our
petition. We need to build a larger and stronger army in order to win the Death
Tax.fight.
Can you help me with these goals? Your involvement has
already done so much, but we can't give up now.
I'll keep fighting from DC. Thanks again for your
excellent work.
Preserve the American
Dream!
Dick Patten
President
American Family Business Institute
P.S. It is very likely that the Senate will vote on
Death Tax legislation this week. Please contact your Senators
today!
