At the time of a person's death, much of their savings, business assets or farm assets have already been subjected to federal, state and local tax,

One of the most disturbing aspects of the tax is that it can destroy a family business, or force the sale of a family ranch or farm.

It really hasn't surprised me that we've gotten into the blame game. I don't think this is the time to fire people. I think it's the time we need to help people.

In some ways, with the security challenges this country has faced, we have had to put in rules and regulations for business to be able to sustain their growth and create jobs.

Now I have finished with all earthly business, and high time too. Yes, yes, my dear child, now comes death.

Time is our most valuable asset, because everything else is earned by spending it.
