The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

her plan lowers the exemption and increases the rate. My father was a lawyer who did trust/estate law and one of my brothers is a lawyer (although not estate/trust). The fact of the matter is that her plan DOES affect businesses and families who are NOT extremely wealthy. There is a large section of the country - which obviously doesnt vote for democrats (with the exception of Iowa for some strange reason) who own family businesses - called farms - many of which would be broken up under Clinton's plan. That already tends to happen but her plan would exacerbate the problem.

PS your suggestion of contacting an estate lawyer further illustrates jbog's point and one of great annoyance to those that are not extremely wealthy but will be affected by Clinton's yet another redistribution scam. Why should folks constantly have to run off to tax lawyers in order to preserve our business. It's anger over things like that which have begotten Trump. I'm not a Trump fan but I am a very angry white guy with a PhD who is tired of democrats bankrupting everybody that tries to make an honest living.
