Subject: RE: BS: Mark Foley Scandal
Thanks Kendall, but I live in farm country. The 1 million dollar estate tax exemption is a joke when dealing with farms. One harvesting machine might cost 1/4 million by itself.

Pork? Winfdall tax break for the rich?? Hell, the people who built the farm up from bare dirt already contributed a huge amount in taxes. Taking their equity is an illegal case of 'double taxation'.

They also employ lots of people. They also feed us all. What kind of twisted thinking leads one to want to punish such people and force them to sell-out to big agribusiness?
