H. Res. 524
In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
September 19, 2002.
Whereas the death tax has been a leading cause of the dis-
solution of family-run businesses and a burden on fami-
lies which save and invest;
Whereas a bipartisan majority of the House of Representa-
tives passed the Permanent Death Tax Repeal Act of
2002 on June 6, 2002, by a vote of 256 to 171;
Whereas failure to enact that Act will reimpose the death tax
after 2010 on families, farms and small businesses
throughout the Nation;
Whereas the death tax will continue to prevent families from
creating, expanding, and retaining farms and businesses
if the death tax is resurrected;
Whereas the threat of a resurrected death tax will cause
American families, including farmers and small business
owners, to waste vast amounts of their time and other re-
sources on efforts to plan to comply with the tax;–
Whereas permanent repeal of the death tax will promote job
creation and economic growth by allowing farm and small
business families to invest in productive, job-creating as-
sets those resources they will otherwise spend on plan-
ning for and paying death taxes; and
