About estate taxes as many people do abut losing their insurance. Wealth breeds wealth, and the more you have or inherit, the faster it breeds.

The exact reverse is true with the middle class and poor. They can't take care of small probkems by throwing a little money at them. The problems compound and snowball, and often create impossible situations. The Repubs know this, and it is exactly what most of them want. In that condition, it is difficult for the poor or struggling to challenge them. All energy goes to putting out the biggest fire first.
