  1. The federal estate tax exemption—that’s the amount an individual can leave to heirs without having to pay federal estate tax—will be $5.43 million in 2015, up from $5.34 million for 2014. That’s another $90,000 that can be passed on tax-free. The top federal estate tax rate is 40%.

  3. Countering a Conservative organizations concerns about her poor Republican voting record does not bode well.

    Remember in 2010 when she beat Stephanie Herseth Sandlin up over the Death Tax? That was 7 years ago, and it’s a campaign issue again?

      1. Shows DC with Obama as president doesn’t do much. Of course Noem is hitting it now since we have a WH that would be sympathetic toward the tax cut. At least she sees the possibility that it could pass and be signed. If it was just a political ploy on her part years ago, she wouldn’t be bringing it up again.

  5. The tariff is what Trump wants to put on is directed at goods that were once manufactured in the US by US workers but their jobs were exported to other countries, Some other items may as well be caught up in the net. But, with the new tariff, companies likely will not export those jobs and some may even come back. Have we gotten the entire story yet with the way the news is reported the days, I don’t know. But I am for those tariffs at this time. I supported NAFTA at the time but it seems we really are losing more and more American jobs because of it. And I certainly don’t believe the numbers put out by the Club for Growth as these groups tend to heavily inflate the numbers when espousing their cause.

    1. You truly need to get your facts straight. The tarrif proposed by President Trump, which would be equally bad, is not the one in question here, and he opposes the Border Adjustment Tax being proposed by some of the Republicans in Congress. Furthermore, the Club for Growth did not “put out” the $1,700 figure. That came from the Retailers Association.

      1. But the Club for Growth used it in their ad. I don’t care if the RA came out with the figure, these groups blow it way out of line just to suit their cause, and the C for G used it as a fact.

    2. Representative Noem, I generally support you, but you said nothing about the Border Adjustment Tax (BAT) in that video. All of the things that you did mention would be good reforms, but none of them are reliant upon the passage of the BAT.

      Furthermore, your attack on “out of state groups” is ridiculous. The things for which you vote will affect, in the case of the BAT negatively, on the entire country. Free speech is a national right. Stop trying to stifle it.

  6. On its own, I oppose the Border Adjustment Tax and am with Club for Growth on the issue. Long-term it won’t create a single net job. Not a single economist (conservative or liberal) asserts this is a net job creator. It will only shift what jobs we have in the US and I’m not sure we will be net positive on the pay of the jobs retained. South Dakota net-net loses with the BAT by itself.

    That said, tax reform isn’t going to be perfect and compromises are going to happen. Depending on what other taxes are being cut, the Border Adjustment Tax might be acceptable at some level.

    1. You have to think nationally, what is best for our whole country not just will it help our little state! Too much of only for ‘ME’ mentality.
