Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) has issued the following statement today on the passage of H.R. 1105, the Death Tax Repeal Act of 2015:

“At every turn, the federal government finds creative ways to continue to fund their wasteful spending habits. After a lifetime of confiscating much of our hard earned living, the idea of letting the IRS get one last shot on our way out is offensive. While most people send flowers to a funeral, the IRS sends a tax bill.

"Though Will Rogers stated, “the only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn’t get worse every time Congress meets,” Congress turned the tide today by allowing Americans to leave the fruits of a lifetime of labor to their children, instead of surrendering it to sustain an out of control government.

“Heaven doesn't charge an entry fee and the government shouldn’t charge an exit fee.”
