What Do the 2012 Republican Presidential Candidates Think About the Federal Estate Tax?

By , About.com GuideDecember 19, 2011

Follow me on:

Recently the Tax Policy Center, a joint venture of the Urban Institute and Brookings Institution which provides analysis and facts about U.S. tax policy, compared the provisions of the tax plans proposed by the eight major Republican presidential candidates (Bachmann, Cain, Gingrich, Huntsman, Paul, Perry, Romney and Santorum) and summarized the information in a handy chart (for those of you who know me, you know how much I love charts!): Summary of Major Tax Proposals by GOP Presidential Candidates. When I scanned the chart for each candidate's stance on the federal estate tax, it became quite clear that there is one tax matter that all of the candidates agree on - all eight want the federal estate tax to be repealed.
