Democracy, Charity, and the Economy:
Minnesota's Stake in Estate Tax Reform
A Dialogue with Bill Gates, Sr. and Chuck Collins
October 22, 2003

Bill Gates, Sr. and Chuck Collins

On October 22, Bill Gates, Sr. and Chuck Collins joined MCN to discuss the important role that the estate tax plays for our democracy, our economy, and our society. Their conversation highlighted the devastating impact that repeal of the estate tax would have on charitable giving, and two recent reports by the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center and OMB Watch, which further document this research.

Their new book: Wealth and Our Commonwealth: Why America Should Tax Accumulated Fortunes is available at United for a Fair Economy
