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 1978.

It advocates private property rights and recreational and commercial
access
to federal lands.
