CONGRESSMAN FORD BAD FOR BUSINESS
Ford's Record on Taxes Hurt Business – Cost Tennesseans Jobs
(Nashville) - Congressman Harold Ford Jr. (D-Memphis) has been a long time foe of business in Tennessee. A review of the congressman’s voting record shows Ford has consistently voted against tax cuts that aid small businesses and benefit the economy in our state.
“Harold Ford’s reckless record on taxes is a failure for Tennessee’s economy. Congressman Ford’s votes against lowering taxes could have hurt the state’s small business owners and stifle economic growth. No thanks to Congressman Ford – lower taxes have given our country 35 straight months of job growth, 5.5 million new jobs and a very low unemployment rate,” said Bob Davis, chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party.
Harold Ford has repeatedly voted against lowering taxes, including votes against Death Tax repeal and the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003. According to Congressional Quarterly, Congressman Ford has cast over 70 votes against lowering the tax burden on working Tennesseans and Americans.

If Not Repealed, Small Businesses And Other Estates Would Be Subject To A Maximum 55% Death Tax Beginning In 2011. “Under current law (pl 107-16), the estate tax is being phased out and will disappear in 2010. But it would revert to pre-2001 levels in 2011 without congressional action, with a maximum levy of 55 percent.” (Rachel Van Dongen, “Estate Tax Package Generates Conservatives’ Support — With a Few Caveats,” CQ Today, June 22, 2006)
