FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Land Rights Group Supports Bush Tax Plan

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, WASHINGTON, Mar. 5 -/E-Wire/-- The American Land Rights Association (ALRA) announced its support today for President Bush's Tax Relief Plan, in particular proposed repeal of the inheritance tax, better known as the "death tax."

"President Bush's plan phases out the death tax over eight years, eventually repealing it completely," said Chuck Cushman, ALRA Executive Director. "That is great news for all small businesses, including farms and ranches that are family owned and want to pass it on to the next generation."

Cushman agreed with President Bush, who has pointed out that there is a very strong case for a tax cut bill for several reasons. These include that federal taxes are the highest ever during peacetime, Americans pay more in taxes than they spend on food, clothing and housing combined, and Americans work more than four months of the year just to pay their combined federal and non-federal tax bills.

"There are several other provisions that will help self-employed people and small businesses, such as a reduction in the marriage tax, raising the limit on IRA contributions, and reducing and simplifying income tax rates," said Cushman.

"This package will be a great benefit that will help both our short term economic situation and long term economic security," Cushman added.

ALRA is a nationwide organization of small property owners founded in 1977. It advocates private property rights and recreational and commercial access to federal lands.
