Repeal the Death Tax…Why We Should Support It. 

Updated 11/06/23

By Phyllis Couper, First Vice President - Tri-Valley Republicans

One Million Plus Signatures Needed!

Most everyone owns a home, and many have children to which they might want to will their property.  Prop 19 that passed in 2020 took this right away. The Death Tax makes it financially impossible for family property inheritance and prices the next generation out of home ownership. It is also the largest property tax increase in California history. 

In March, 2021, a WalletHub study revealed that California ranks 49th out of 50 states in return on investment for the taxes that citizens pay.  California has the highest income tax rate in America, the highest state sales tax rate, and highest gas tax.  Prop 19 is yet another cash cow for the state to collect more tax money.

Appears to Be of No Concern To The State

  Repeal the Death Tax Initiative will restore this constitutional right for property owners, and will be retroactive for those whose properties have already been reassessed. A million plus signatures are needed.  We have four months to accomplish this!  Let’s all help lower each other’s property taxes by gathering Repeal the Death Tax signatures of friends and neighbors.

Please join me in the fight to SAVE California private property ownership and keep home ownership affordable for our next generation!
