Dave Ellen--familes that "eke" out a small estate of modest means don't even come close to paying an estate tax, for God's sake!! The only people who pay estate taxes NOW are the richest 2% of people in this country, and the even the Democrats plan will make it so that it's closer to 1% than 2%!! The truth is that almost NO one pays estate taxes in this country other than the very rich--it sure as hell ain't families of "modest means!" _____________________ This is a bunch of crap. Buffett and Gates can afford to talk like this but families that have managed to eke out a small estate from modest means shouldn't have to turn it over to the government. << would be nice if Bush, like Buffett and Gates, decided that rich white guys like him have been given enough already >>
