Tax Relief I am committed to reducing the heavy burden of taxation on our nation's families and business. I have pledged to reduce taxes on working families in order to allow them to invest more of their hard-earned money in their own futures. We also pledge to target tax relief to enhance economic growth and the creation of new, high-paying jobs. I continue to support eliminating the marriage penalty, the death tax on farms and small businesses, the Gore tax on Social Security benefits, and the phone excise tax enacted over a hundred years ago to pay for the Spanish-American War. I also support expanding educational and child tax credits, contributions to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), and deductions for health insurance and long-term care.
