RE:"the proposals have been criticized by groups such as the National Association of Realtors, the American Council of Life Insurers and the Bond Market Association, which say tax breaks important to the interests they represent may be at risk." If the $500k break was on the block, the NAR would already be taking out radio ads. They did that when Forbes ran in '96 on the flat tax platform. Imagine the scream if the $500k thing went on the block. Which of course it won't. When they say "Life Insurers" are the talking about annuities etc.? Bond Market? What are they talking about there? Munis?
