Another fact that is rarely mentioned: the estate tax mostly falls on NEVER taxed capital gains (gains on houses, stocks, etc.). So the argument that its been taxed before is also nonsense.

The Republican-controlled Senate will attempt this week a feat that is breathtakingly irresponsible - abolishing the tax on multimillion-dollar estates.

Conservatives have done a masterful spin job in vilifying the estate tax. They've effectively renamed this progressive, needed source of revenue the "death tax."


Not to mention it would likely devastate much needed contributions to charitable organizations.....
