Republicanism

Very strongly agree

Yes, and we should eliminate it

Many Republicans strongly support the elimination of the estate tax, arguing that it is a form of double taxation and that it can be a burden on family-owned businesses and farms. For example, the Republican Party platform in 2016 called for the repeal of the estate tax, and several Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation to eliminate it.

Disagree

No, I am satisfied with the current rate

Therefore, the score is slightly negative.

Very strongly disagree

No, and increase it at a progressive rate

They believe that lower taxes encourage economic growth and that the estate tax can be a burden on family-owned businesses and farms.
