“I appreciate your yielding for a moment, because what you are talking about, I guess economists would say, there is sort of an economic lot size. If you have a farm worth 2,000 acres, that may be viable; but if you have to sell off 55 percent of your land, 55 percent of your tractors or your combines or your equipment, and then you divide it across several siblings, it won't work anymore. So what you have done is not only have you taken away something that was part of the dream that somebody saved all their life to pass on to their kids; we are saying we are going to punish people who want to pass things on to their kids. That is not the American dream. That is killing the American dream. Now, you raised another thing, and I would like to talk about this.

You are talking about class envy, and it is always the upper class and the middle class and the lower class, and, 'I am for the middle class.' And it is all this class, class, class stuff. And I feel like saying: Stop. Wait just a minute. I thought America was a classless society.”
