Bloomberg.com: Bloomberg Columnists: "Massive Estate Tax Cut Unseemly in Any Season: Gene Sperling
Oct. 3 (Bloomberg) -- The award for candor in the post- Hurricane Katrina era has to go to Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Grassley, who observed that ``it's a little unseemly to be talking about doing away with or enhancing the estate tax at a time when people are suffering.''
Grassley's comment was an acknowledgement that there was something troubling about giving a multibillion-dollar tax cut to the nation's richest families while hundreds of thousands of our less fortunate fellow citizens endured the pain and devastation of a terrible natural disaster."
