The Man Who Put Death Taxes on the Map

JIM MARTIN HONORED

A standing-room-only crowd jammed the Liaison Hotel on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on July 15 to honor James L. Martin for his 50 years of political activism.

Martin has long been the out-spoken president of 60 Plus, a seniors association that has been the premier force behind the drive to abolish the estate tax.
