Class Warfare, with an Unarmed Opponent

Sanders's office came up with some interesting numbers here. If the Estate Tax were to be repealed completely, the estimated savings to just one family -- the Walton family, the heirs to the Wal-Mart fortune -- would be about $32.7 billion dollars over the next ten years.

The proposed reductions to Medicaid over the same time frame? $28 billion.

But just think of all those heirs who will be bankrupted by the evil government stealing their hard earned inheritances.

(BTW nice framing job here by Norquist and co. they've got middle-class people somehow thinking their own estates will be subject to taxes even though this was never the case)
