Spratt Supports Keeping the Death Tax

Imagine you’ve worked hard your whole life.   You have a nice home in a safe neighborhood and good schools for your family.  You send your kids to a great college so that they can get a good education and make a life for themselves.  You’ve been responsible and save for retirement and after all of these years of work and success you expect to be able to leave that for your family so that they’ll be taken care of after you’re gone.

John Spratt doesn’t think you should be able to do that.  This is his statement on the repeal of the Death Tax.

“The total repeal would have substantial additional impact on revenues,” said Rep. John Spratt, D-S.C. “And this is also a time when we need to — we simply can’t be profligate about tax cuts. And we think we struck a good balance.”
