Q: Isaiah Shnurman – Iowa Cattlemen’s Association
In respect to the generational transfer of family farming, what is your stance on repealing the death tax?

A: Dr. Carson: “Well you know I’m not a big tax person in general. Which is why I have advocated a proportional tax based on the Bible quite frankly. I think God’s a pretty fair person and if He thinks proportionality is good, then I’m good with it too. You make $10 billion dollars a year you pay a billion. You make $10 a year, you pay one. Everybody gets the same rights and privileges. Get rid of all the deductions and all the loopholes. And you don’t tax anything twice – including estates. And I’m for the repeal of that Death Tax. It makes absolutely no sense at all. And in many cases people have been working for generations to build their farm and its worth a lot of money but now they are going to have to sell it in order to pay the taxes on it. I mean this is just so ridiculous. I don’t see how anybody with half a brain would even believe that you should be doing something like that. I would work vigorously with Congress to repeal that.”
