McIntyre votes with Pelosi to make “death tax” permanent
WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Thursday, Dec. 3, 2009 Congressman Mike McIntyre voted to permanently extend the federal estate tax, which was scheduled to expire on Dec. 31. Frank Williams, Chairman of the N.C. 7th Congressional District Republican Party, issued the following statement in response to McIntyre’s vote:

The estate tax penalizes families, farmers and small business owners who work hard, save money and build something to pass on to their children and grandchildren. Because of this tax, the federal government lays claim to a large portion of their hard-earned assets when they pass away – even though they have already paid income taxes, property taxes and countless other taxes throughout the lifelong process of building their estate.
