Death Tax Relief for America's Farmers. All 50 of them. The rest? Bonus!

If the argument is that the death tax is morally wrong and that noone, from the impoverished to Bill Gates, should have to pay a fucking penny upon death, then GOP congressmen should be unafraid to say so, smile proudly at the amounts of money saved for those benefitting from this measure, and (presumably) articulate some plan to adjust to the loss of revenue.
Hiding behind Mom, Apple Pie, and a largely nonexistent class of family farmers to justify this legislation is simply cowardly.

I agree with you. Hiding behind farmers is bullshit.
