Death Taxes as Business Killers
A Treasury official uses a fable set in 1920 to argue that heavy federal estate and state inheritance taxes wreck small and family businesses. The tale follows John Henry, Sr and Jr and Walter Brown, whose estates are crushed by debts and death duties, forcing bond-financed liquidation and relocation to tax-friendlier states. The piece calls for tax reform to preserve incentives for work and enterprise.
