Unfortunately, new regulations proposed by the Obama administration would make it even more difficult for these family-owned businesses to survive through the generations. If we want to grow opportunity in America, the endless roll of red tape must be stopped.” Click here to read the full text of the letter. Smith is also a cosponsor of H.R. 1105, the Death Tax Repeal Act. The House passed H.R. 1105 last year. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
