Why would you think there should be a step up in basis when ownership moves because of death? Unless you are saying that when the estate tax is repealed, all capital gains taxes should be repealed, in which case the whole basis issue is moot. Uh, except I think basis has to do with depreciation, but I don't think that's relevant here.
