No Taxation Without Respiration

American Business Defense Foundation knows that our reputation lies not only in the words we stand by but the actions of our initiatives. Our focus is on death tax repeal, reducing regulations, and lowering tax intrusions on our families and businesses. The American Business Defense Council effectively defends the interests of our nation's family businesses, farms, and ranches at both the federal and state levels of government. Our goal is the repeal of the federal estate tax which currently negates the incentive to save and invest, kills jobs, and inhibits overall economic growth.
