Roger Williams: Repeal the Death Tax

April 14, 2015

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Roger Williams (R-Texas), a small business owner of more than 40 years and a member of the House Financial Services Committee, today released the following video message urging a repeal of the estate tax which is scheduled to come up for a vote in the House of Representatives this week.

"The estate tax, otherwise known as the death tax, is one of the most unfair taxes implemented by the U.S. government," said Williams. "Not only does it hinder job growth, it is double taxation that tears apart family businesses.

"By taking billions of dollars from Americans' pockets, the IRS is trading in job creation and charitable giving for bigger government."
