But let me be clear. Democrats, as well as Republicans, welcome the opportunity to eliminate the estate tax for middle-income Americans and families who own small businesses and family farms. We, on this side of the aisle, believe that we can completely abolish the estate tax for the overwhelming majority of American families who this tax affects at a fraction of the cost of the Republican proposal. Why is that? It is because, unfortunately, the Republican proposal focuses so much of the revenue that is available on the superwealthy.
