otc: "you simply want to try to attack my stance." I provided you with the facts, now you can make an informed stance instead of using a faulty example. It is not a big issue to you or me if we are not taxed at death because of the exemption.
The estate tax exemption rises to $3.5 million in 2009 and then it ends. I think the $3.5 million number is fair if we must have an estate tax. It is hard for me to feel sorry for those with bigger estates, but I don't really like the system. I really focus more on my dislike of how income taxes are levied on us. FLAT tax would be system of choice without an estate tax.
