Estate Tax Lobby Day Training

Why should folks with class privilege step up for the estate tax?
It raises $30 billion in federal revenue each year, only from large fortunes.
It is our most progressive form of taxation.
It's an 'opportunity-recycling program' for each new generation.
Young people with class privilege have a particularly powerful voice in this debate.
Now is the time to tell Congress we want a progressive estate tax!
Get an update on the current situation with the estate tax on Capitol Hill
Prepare for lobby visits with members of Congress the next day
