PenceBlog: <b><i>AP:</i> Pence continues push for complete repeal of "onerous death tax"</b> - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence : 6th District Of Indiana

Today the House voted 269-156 in favor of the Permanent Estate Tax Relief Act.

Here is an excerpt an AP article covering the vote:

"The House bill would replace that temporary law by reducing, but not eliminating, the estate tax. The House's most conservative Republicans said they could accept the proposed compromise but no more.

"'Let me say, having spoken to many of my colleagues who share my belief that we should repeal this onerous death tax outright, that if this is the deal, it's a good deal for the American people,' said Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind. 'But we say with conviction, this far and no farther.'"
