You mean the "Paris Hilton" tax????

I for one don't mind that the air-head kids of the super rich don't automatically get all the cash that their parents have accumulated. They'll STILL get plenty and if their parents really think they deserve it all then they can set things up so not a dime goes to the estate tax.

The thing about busting up family farms and businesses is total B.S. and if that were really the consideration here then it wouldn't take too much tinkering to make sure that was avoided all together.

If they get rid of the estate tax it will cost the country BILLIONS. It will help Paris Hilton and other worthless spawn keep their unearned and undeserved billions and increase our burgeoning deficits.
