Sen. Ron Johnson has sponsored a bill that would repeal the death tax.

The Death Tax Repeal Act of 2023 would allow the untaxed gains on the investment assets of mega-millionaires and billionaires to escape income taxation entirely.

If ultra-rich Americans ever need cash, they don’t need to sell highly appreciated assets, they can borrow against the assets.

Rep. Ron Johnson wants to continue to benefit from the tax-free compounding of investment gains using the buy-borrow-die strategy.

Johnson pushed hard for the so-called “pass-through deduction,” which allows owners of limited liability companies and subchapter S corporations to pay a 20% lower rate of tax on their income.
