I don't like the estate tax because it is double taxing. That is silly to me, and rediculous. I figure if I have a dollar I paid taxes on I can do what I want with it. It is disingenious to suggest that the person I give it to should pay again. But... I know no farmer that has been effected by estate taxes. And I won't be in terms of land, which is the farm. But that is personal, I don't know about others, though I have never read of a land being lost to it. Most farms I know of that were lost, were due to overextension of credit. A long and sordid story. Property taxes in my state are too cheap for my taste (schools are unfunded, imo, for one). so, though I have an opinion on estate taxes, it is not related to farming. I just think it is a rip-off. Tax once and be done with it.
