Republican Rewrite of US Taxcode

Correct, and really the 5 million cutoff before was too low and would hurt a lot of the middle class working folks like us. Hillary and Bernie wanted even more when you died. This was the main reason I voted for Trump
How many middle class estates are worth more than 5 million?

I would think quite a few really after a lifetime of hard work and saving, heck just look at some of the old time drivers you work with and guys that retired in the last decade.

If you own a house in the high priced places....N.Y. , Cali, Hawaii,........Your home can be 1/2 or more of that $5 mil.

Actually won't save that much. But I do believe the tax cuts will stimulate the economy. And the reduced corporate rate will bring in investment from around the world. And boost the value of the Dollar.
And you forgot to mention explode the debt.

Mom & dad die, the Farm is thousands of acres of land.....a few buildings, a house and lots of expensive machinery. The kids can't afford the taxes and every asset is still financed because from time to time you need to update the equipment. So, the kids sell the farm that has been in their family for over 100 years.

How do you shelter a Massey Ferguson? or John Deere?

More people died last year from falling down stairs than the number of people affected by the estate tax.

Farms? 0.05% of those.

It's a red-herring talking point.
 

It will be fine
