(April 30, 2013) \u2013 The National Grange filed an amicus brief Monday in opposition to the estate tax and a recent court decision in which defendants were ordered to pay more in inheritance taxes than what the inherited property was worth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i>United States v. MacIntyre<\/i>, heard by the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, has presented the question: Does the law permit the government to collect more from a donee than the value of the gift received?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Grange, along with the National Black Chamber of Commerce who initiated the action, and the Sixty Plus Association, the Taxpayers Protection Alliance, and the Center for Individual Freedom, have responded with a resounding \u201cno,\u201d insisting that the government\u2019s pursuance of such funds amounts to little more than greed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe Grange has long been an opponent of the estate tax. It does nothing but prevent the American dream from becoming a reality,\u201d National Grange President Edward Luttrell said. \u201cFarmers and ranchers all over the country have worked their entire lives in order to leave their children something substantial that could be passed on to future generations and the inheritance tax does nothing but work to destroy that legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSo many multi-generational farms and ranches have been lost because of the inheritor\u2019s inability to pay the estate tax on the property. The original owners already worked to pay off this land so their children would be land owners able to support continued operations or realize the investment of ownership,\u201d National Grange Legislative Director Grace Boatright said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The amicus brief will be put on the record and allows the voices of farmers, ranchers, and other landowners to be heard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"center\">\u00a0Established in 1867, The National Grange, a nonpartisan, nonprofit fraternal organization, is the oldest agricultural and rural community service organization. With more than 2,100 local chapters, the Grange has evolved into the nation\u2019s leading rural advocacy organization and a major benefactor to local communities. There are more than 160,000 members across the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C.
