Estate Tax - Democrats Substitute

109th Congress, 1st Session

April 13, 2005

The House on April 13, 2005 voted to eliminate permanently the tax on estates. The Democrats substitute was offered by Representative Earl Pomeroy (D-ND). It would have limited exemption from the estate tax to incomes below $7 million for a couple. It failed by a vote of 194-238. The table below shows individual votes on the Pomeroy Amendment in a table that permits sorting by each of six caucuses. A column for the New Democrats has been added.
