Bush didn't even get a plurailty of the popular vote. But he did get 55.5% of the only vote that counted -- 5-4 in the USSC. That's it, period. If the recounts had been completed in Florida, he would have lost. And were it not for a total fluke in the ballots in Duvall (Pres. candidates on 2 pages) and Palm Beach County (butterfly ballot), he would have lost Florida by well over 40,000 votes. The American people didn't elect Bush -- he was elected by 5 conservatives in robes, the spiritual leader of which was his recent guest to dinner at the White House (Anthony and Antonio, as Dubya called him - LOL). BTW - I have no problem eliminating the estate tax for estates under $5 Million (or even more) to cover the issues you raise regarding relatively modest family businesses. It's the elimination of that tax for estates over $10 Million that is offensive.
