Club for Growth President Chris Chocola: “Mark Pryor should be held accountable for his vote for this nasty and anti-growth tax.” 

Washington, DC - Club for Growth President Chris Chocola issued the following statement in reaction to Arkansas Democrat Senator Mark Pryor’s vote late Friday night against full repeal of the Federal estate tax, more commonly known as the “death tax.” Pryor joined the vast majority of Democrats in opposing full repeal of the tax. 

Unlike Pryor, Arkansas Republican Senator John Boozman supports full repeal of the death tax.

Senator Pryor has joined with the liberals in Washington before. Pryor voted for ObamaCare, the Obama “stimulus”, and to bail out the Wall Street banks. That’s why a recent ad by Club for Growth Action calls Pryor Obama’s “best ally” in Washington. 

“Obama ally Mark Pryor claims he’s an independent voice for Arkansas, but he just voted against full repeal of the death tax,” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola. “The death tax hurts small businesses and farmers and should be completely eliminated. Mark Pryor should be held accountable for his vote for this nasty and anti-growth tax.”
