31. So she is echoing the RW talking points about the "death tax"
that was used in the past to such great affect. It is more than possibly to preserve a business without having to resort to extreme measures to raise "tens of millions of dollars" in order to hand down an estate, particularly a family farm or small business.

(The tens of millions of dollars cited in her Senate floor remarks got to me. That seems to me to negate her point. If you can raise tens of millions, then you are not exactly banging on the poorhouse door here.)
