On the recordJune 6, 2002
I think it is very tragic we are hearing this number of 2 percent of people who die, have estates that are taxed under the death tax. That does not take into consideration the numbers of small businesses that are sold and the dollars that are taken out of this economy to pay for CPAs and estate tax planners and to purchase life insurance policies. We do not see the results of those figures in the 2 percent number which came from I do not know where many years ago.
