About this Quote

This quote by Jon Kyl is referring to the death tax, which is a tax imposed on the transfer of property after the death of the owner. He thinks that this tax is unreasonable, ineffective, financially unsound, and immoral. He believes that it is unjust due to the fact that it taxes the exact same residential or commercial property multiple times, and it is inefficient because it needs a lot of paperwork and time to complete. He also believes that it is financially unsound since it can dissuade people from investing in the economy, and it can likewise lead to the liquidation of properties to pay the tax. Lastly, he thinks that it is immoral due to the fact that it taxes individuals for something that runs out their control. In General, Jon Kyl thinks that the death tax must be abolished.
