The increase to $5 million would be implemented over ten years. Most Republicans are against any such tax and coined the name “death tax” to imply that the government taxes you even after you die.

Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “You save and invest your money, it’s taxed. You spend your money, it’s taxed. You own property, it's taxed.

My amendment sought to shed the ‘Taxachusetts’ mentality … Our residents should want to spend their golden years in Massachusetts, but our tax policy makes it unaffordable to die in Massachusetts. Middle and upper-middle-class families should not have to worry about the government taking what they have worked so hard for future generations of their family.” Amendment opponents said the proposed bill already raises the exemption from $1 million to $2 million and noted that will cost $185 million. They said a hike to $5 million is excessive and unaffordable and will cost hundreds of millions of dollars more. They noted that lowering the estate tax is not the only way to help seniors and their families and noted there are many other initiatives that help seniors. Senate Ways and Means Chair Sen.

They argue that the state's sales tax revenue loss would be offset by increased revenue from the meals and gas tax revenue generated by shoppers on those two days. Opponents of the bill say the state cannot afford the up to $30 million estimated revenue loss and argued the holiday actually generates little additional revenue for stores because consumers typically buy the products even without the tax-free days. They say that the Legislature should be looking at broader, deeper tax relief for individuals and businesses and not a tiny taxfree holiday.
