Yeah, but isn't what is really hurting agricultural families is corporate
farming?
>it will also prevent the current middle class from acquiring the wealth
they need to make the leap to being rich.
I have a problem with this - making the leap to being rich means someone
else is making the fall to being poor - that money has to come from
somewhere. What is wrong with being middle class? Why is accumulating more
privately held wealth seen as progress?

sorry to do this. but i strongly disagree. it greatly hurts agricultural
(farmers) families. it also disincents anyone to work hard, becuase so much
is taken away at the end.
granted, the rich will get richer. but that will happen no matter what.
it will also prevent the current middle class from acquiring the wealth
they
need to make the leap to being rich.

sometime soon, the senate is going to vote on whether to make the repeal
of the estate tax permanent. this tax, paid only by the wealthiest of the
wealthy upon inheritance, if repealed permanently would further increase
the gap between the wealthy and the rest of us.
i don't usually ask people on the various lists i participate in to call
their senators, but i feel very strongly about this. if you have a bit of
time to call or email your senators, and you believe the estate tax should
NOT be repealed permanently, please contact your senator:
http://www.senate.gov/contacting/index_by_state.cfm
If you want information about the estate tax (albeit from my viewpoint)
check out:

please feel free to forward.
peace
