99.5% of the population won't benefit from any estate tax cut. Unless you have Paris Hilton's fortune, you sure won't benefit, but the top one half of one percent will and will laugh all the way to the bank at people dumb enough to support this.

Here's a map, with all the stats for each state:

Myth: The estate tax is unfair.
Fact: Unfair compared to what? Should revenue come from a tax on wages? Should it come from sales tax? Or should it also come from the estates of multi-millionaires? The estate tax is eminently fair. It is collected from those most able to pay, and it encourages the recycling of wealth through the non-profit sector. It limits the size of family dynasties that would otherwise distort our democracy and shrink economic opportunity for succeeding generations.
