And with the Estate Tax (the 'death tax'), if you don't have significant savings (most farmers do not), when you die, your kids will have to pay the tax on their inheritance.

And since it's really hard to sell just part of an estate (and especially a farm), that usually means selling the whole thing, just to pay the taxes on the thing you left behind for them.

The estate tax should be repealed, not just at the federal level, but in the twelve states that also have an estate tax of their own, or we'll lose the family farm, and the family farmers, forever.. killed by taxes.
