Bush's estate tax cut is a sham for the top 1-2% only and is a huge budget busting deficit maker. An analysis has found the estate tax above 1.5 million does not hurt family farms a bit. 300 farms in all the USA were affected. Bush lied about that, pretending it was for family farmers and small businessmen. Pshaw! If Bush had told the truth he'd have said "my billionaire buddies and me and Dick don't like to pay estate taxes". The whole spin on the "death tax" was a scam. 98% of Americans would never pay such a tax as it was. Bush was protecting the top %2% as usual. Now he wants to make it permanent which will create a permanent upper class, and the more idle they are the less taxes they pay.
