This is who the moronic liberals want to raise taxes on.......
The sad part is that these folks will be caught in the middle.

The truly rich will just raise prices on everything to cover this tax but the working people will pay thru the nose.....

Rancher Kevin Kester works dawn to dusk, drives a 12-year-old pick-up truck and earns less than a typical bureaucrat in Washington D.C., yet the federal government considers him rich enough to pay the estate tax -- also known as the "death tax."
And with that tax set to soar at the beginning of 2013 without some kind of intervention from Congress, farmers and ranchers like Kester are waiting anxiously.
"There is no way financially my kids can pay what the IRS is going to demand from them nine months after death and keep this ranch intact for their generation and future generations," said Kester, of the Bear Valley Ranch in Central California.

In an attempt to protect wealthy Americans from increased taxation, Fox erroneously reported the estate tax will affect a large number of small farms and businesses. In reality, President Obama's plan to increase the estate tax would only marginally increase the number of small farms and businesses subject to taxation, and those affected would experience low effective tax rates.

On Fox & Friends, reporter William La Jeunesse ran a segment highlighting California rancher Kevin Kester and his take on potential increases in the estate tax. Throughout the segment, La Jeunesse continually, and erroneously, referred to the estate tax as the "death tax," accompanied by the following chyron:

From the November 16 edition of Fox & Friends:

Of course, the entire purpose of the segment is to create the appearance that the estate tax, which is intended to be a tax on the very wealthy, falls on a large number of small farms and businesses. However, this is simply not the case.

The report highlights that President Obama plans to alter current estate tax policy, lowering the maximum exemption from $5 million to $3.5 million and imposing a 45 percent rate on estate values exceeding that amount. This proposal is simply a reversion to 2009 estate tax exemptions and rates.

According to an analysis by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities using Tax Policy Center data, "only 40 small business and farm estates nationwide will owe any estate tax in 2012." CBPP previously estimated the change in the number of small farm and business estates affected by a reversion to 2009 policy:

Despite rhetoric from estate-tax opponents portraying small businesses and farms as being severely burdened by the estate tax, only 60 small farm and business estates in the entire country would owe any estate tax next year under the 2009 rules, TPC estimates.[Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 7/24/2012, emphasis original]

In short, only 20 new small farm and business estates would be affected by President Obama's proposal. The same report notes the effective tax rate is far lower than the headline 45 percent rate due to "special provisions targeted to farm and business estates." Taking such provisions into account yields an estimated effective tax rate of 11.6 percent, which is lower than the current capital gains rate.

Attempting to characterize taxes on the wealthy as affecting a large number of Americans is not new for Fox, which has taken particular care to push those misleading claims in light of current federal budget negotiations.

Instead of leaving cash for my family I invested the cash in a small vineyard outside of Santa Rosa Ca

I built a beautiful house with a lake.
Planted 50 acres of grapes over a 20 year period

There is no way my family would be able to keep that property when I die so it was sold and the money put into a smaller house in the USA and a much larger house here and that was at the old death tax rates

The death tax will just encourage people to invest outside of the USA just like Gates, the Walton's, Jobs and most other rich people have done

But liberals are not smart enough to understand this
Regulate MexiTroll One

Yes get your money out of the USA and put it where the return is higher, the risk is lower and the taxes are fraction of the USA

Now that is real estate planing
