I had seen a reality check on the estate tax back in 2005: no one can find any farmers who have been forced to sell their farms because of the estate tax.
Now via a post on Echidne's blog, we find a report by Public Citizen detailing the insanity of the estate tax repeal efforts. Super-wealthy people have spent lots of money to convince Americans that not-so-wealthy people are victimized by this tax, which is a crock.
Make sure to check out Appendix C, containing the myths that have been used to argue against the tax.
