Tunica--No weeping here. The estate tax is not a "death tax," although the political side of me admires the spin-meisters who have cynically sold that phrase to the idiots who have bought it.

Only 2%, yup, 2% of all estates are all that come under the estate tax, so that leaves 98% of the other folks who die whose death triggers zippo estate tax.

And please read my point in my previous post about Theodore Roosevelt--his point of view is at least as valid now as it was then....
