END THE BIRTH TAX!!!

Letter to the NY Times Editor:

...in reviving a bill to repeal the estate tax, the Republicans ignore the fact that the elimination of what they call the "death tax" on heirs of multimillionaires will create a corresponding "birth tax," estimated by Senator John Kerry last year at $35,000, that each child will come into the world owing as his share of the national debt.
