The resolution urges Congress to repeal the estate tax, highlighting that the assets left behind by individuals after death have typically been taxed previously. It emphasizes the financial burden the estate tax places on farm and ranch families, who often hold their wealth in land and equipment rather than liquid cash. This situation can force heirs to downsize or sell their family businesses to meet tax obligations, which can disrupt generational operations.

Additionally, the resolution argues that eliminating the estate tax could foster greater economic growth and job creation, ultimately leading to increased societal wealth and government revenue. It notes that Senator John Thune is sponsoring a bill in Congress aimed at abolishing the estate tax, reinforcing the call for legislative action on this issue.
