Peter, do you actually think that the "death tax" was one of the MAJOR reasons for the breaking up of family farms? Wan't it the democrats that created most of the programs that helped family farmers. The 20's were probably the worst decade EVER for farmers and that was a republican decade. The 80's, with Reagan's insistence on unleashing Volker to sueeze every drop out of the economy with record interest rates also wasn't a big boon for farmers either, was it? Don't shareholders benefit from Corporations buying up and running farmland efficiently? Don't consumers benefit from free and unfettered markets? Like MOST people, Peter, you don't like big government unless it's part of that big government that affects YOU, then you're all for it.
