Eliminating the Capital Gains tax and the so called “Death Tax” is only the start. The tax burden place on American citizens must be reduced across the board! By allowing people to keep more of their hard earned money and allowing people to leave their accumulated wealth to their heirs, we will be fostering consumerism. People who have disposable cash have a tendency to spend it. Consumerism is what drives the economy. Demand for goods raises levels of employment. Higher employment means income tax revenue from a larger pool. A larger pool to draw tax revenue from leads to lower taxes.
The Death Tax amounts to nothing more than double-taxation. The money you have earned has already been taxed once, your heirs should not have to be taxed on money that is rightfully yours.
