Unfortunately though, so did reductions to the death (estate) tax...

Yeah I'm going to cry for the multi-billionaire .0000001% of the US population that is so hurt by that.

You guys act like the estate tax only effects the uber-rich. Thankfully the exemption status will be raised until about 2010, but if it goes back to how it was, it'll effect a lot of people, including many on this site.

The proposed change was only going to affect people whose estates were valued at over 2 million dollars.

Theres a lot of people whose family's estates are worth 2 million dollars.
