In advocating repeal of the tax, Pope said it is time for the state "to quit taxing investment instead of profit." Cost of repeal of the tax has been estimated at about S24 million.

Pope conceded it probably will be difficult to absorb the loss of the tax money until the state's economy begins to improve. Democrats, including Pope's opponent, state Representative Robert Anderson of Newton, have opposed repeal of the tax, claiming it would be used by businesses to replace employees with computers and other machines.
