Ranking Member Sam Graves (R-MO) speaks on House Floor about the estate tax and small business

The U.S. House could vote today on a measure extending a tax on estates of $3.5 million or larger. The rate would top out at 45 percent.

Proponents insist the tax would only affect the richest Americans. Others claim farmers and small business owners should also feel at risk.

Northwest Missouri Congressman Sam Graves calls the move a money grab that unfairly penalizes families that built equity in their businesses and properties over the years.

ya people do need to look at the facts of what the estate tax actually accomplishes... NOTHING. not one positive thing. it serves no purpose.

following party lines...?

this is the idiocracy in America today...what happened to Property Rights?

Ask Osama and Pelosi what those are and they will laugh it off...they are Statist and Marxist through and through...taxing someone when they DIE...amazing.

The ONLY good thing Bush did, and Osama is going to bring it back.

He needs to look at the facts of what the estate tax rates in 2009 do before following the party line.
