More Quotes from Dick Patten:
This forces family businesses to sometimes sell off under fire-sale conditions to come up with cash. Sometimes it causes them to go into a decade or more of very, very deep debt, which takes away their capital and their ability to grow as they had been growing, to provide more jobs and employment opportunities. Sometimes they end up having to slice off parts of the business or farm to come up with the cash.Dick Patten
Republicans and Democrats can agree that the time has come to bury the death tax deep in the ground where it belongs.

Americans know in their hearts that death should not be a taxable event and they look now to their senators in Washington to do what is right when this vote comes up in May.
