Jim, it is pretty obvious you do not know if the inheritance tax is reinstated, which it should be, only about the wealthiest two percent of Americans will be affected. Two percent. I seriously doubt you or any of your relatives will ever fall into the category of the richest two percent of Americans. The CBO recently came out with a report stating that if pre-Bush tax levels are not reinstated for the nation, it will have a serious, detrimental affect to the long-term financial health in the nation.

On another note, there has never been a greater gap between the rich and poor in this nation. The major reason for this is right wing economic policies which favor the wealthy and hurt the poor and middle class over the last 30 years.
