Roger Williams Discusses Death Tax, Family Business on Fox Business Network

Austin, Texas – Congressman Roger Williams (R-Texas), a member of the House Financial Services Committee, joined Stuart Varney on Fox Business Network Friday to discuss the House vote to repeal the death tax and how the tax has impacted him, a second generation business owner.

"Shortly after they (my parents) passed away the IRS was in my office," said Williams. "I had to consider declaring bankruptcy. It is double taxation…it's just wrong, and it's capital that could go into our economy to help create jobs. It's a job destroyer.

"There are countless stories just like mine, from family farms to small businesses."

Last week Williams published an op-ed and recorded a video message to urge his colleagues to repeal the death tax. The House voted Thursday to repeal the tax 240-179.
