CBO: Estate tax doesn't harm family farms Few Wealthy Farmers Owe Estate Taxes, Report Says - New York Times: All but 27 farmers left enough liquid assets to pay taxes owed, the budget office found, although it hinted that the actual number might be zero.

Virtually all wealthy farmers own life insurance in trusts, say estate tax lawyers who specialize in working with farmers. President Bush, the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association have asserted that the estate tax is destroying family farms. None, however, have cited a case of a farm lost to estate taxes, although in June 2001 Mr. Bush said he had talked to such farmers. jgrr.blogspot.com
