The inheritance taxes are primarily responsible for
ending family businesses like dairy farms. Since most
dairy farms are worth much more broken up into building
lots than they are as farms their land value rises into
the stratosphere. When they exceed the death-tax level,
which most of them already have, then a huge sum is due
and payable to the gov't when Mom and Dad kick off. That
sum is so large that no one I've heard of wishing to con-
tinue to farm was able to afford it, and one-by-one the
family farms are busted up and sold for building lots,
as inevitable as gravity, in order to pay the gov't for
the privilege of dying.

But, hey, when you're out to soak the rich you need to
expect some collateral damage. Perhaps it would be a
nicer world if the Democrats could stop to think who
the "rich" they target really are and how little money
they may actually have. They are so busy trying to
screw Bill Gates and Donald Trump they no longer even
think about who else they might be trampling in the
process.
