a perspective that every man in American should hear:
The U.S. House of Representatives voted to eliminate the federal estate tax - a $290 billion tax break for the richest 1 percent of Americans. The true cost of the tax break over 10 years will be $745 billion.
At the same time as members of Congress voted for the huge tax break for the very rich, they're talking about slashing food stamps and Medicaid.
Kudos to Congressman Jim Leach for opposing this giveaway. Shame on Congressmen Jim Nussle, Tom Latham, Steve King and Leonard Boswell for supporting it.
