More Political Stunts

Brad DeLong writes Good News on the Estate Tax.... According to the LA Times the efforts to repeal it might not succeed. Makes sense, the government is badly in debt and the estate tax only affects estates of $4,000,000 or more. According to Robert Reich it only affects 1,200 families in the US. That number does sound small to me, maybe that's how many people die each year with a $4,000,000+ estate.
