As candidates for the 2012 Republican nomination spar over differences on health care policy, job growth, and the war on terror, a consensus has emerged on at least one issue: repeal of the federal estate tax, commonly referred to as the ‘death tax.’
All of the major Republican candidates except former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman and former Louisiana Gov. Charles ‘Buddy’ Roemer have signed a pledge committing themselves to repeal of the estate tax. The pledge was created by the American Family Business Institute (AFBI), a national advocate of repealing the estate tax.
