Vice President Mike Pence said Republicans would repeal the estate tax -- a step that the Senate GOP tax plan doesn’t currently plan to take.
“Death should no longer be a taxable event,” Pence said Thursday night during the annual dinner of the Tax Foundation, a conservative-leaning Washington policy group. He promised that the tax-overhaul plans now under consideration in Congress would eliminate the levy -- a long-sought Republican goal.
