The estate tax is double taxation! It's stealing family farms!

What You Say

The estate tax applies to fortunes above $13.6 million per person — less than 0.1% of estates pay any tax. Family farms have had special exemptions for decades; the 'family farm' argument is a lobbying myth. Wealth passed down without labor is the closest thing to aristocracy American tax law allows.

The Stab

Less than 0.1% of estates pay it. Your uncle's truck isn't the target.
