My pal Bob Elisberg (who owes me a lunch or vice-versa) has some common sense points about the Republican love of playing Reverse Robin Hood, transferring financial burdens from the wealthy to the poor. I still think the desire to eliminate the estate tax is nothing more than a desire on the part of some of the wealthiest Americans to pay zero in taxes and to see the cost of running the country they profess to love shouldered by the lowest-paid.
