This was on the resolution or “rule” setting the terms for debating a bill that was designed to make the estate tax permanent and to reduce its impact on those who will be required to pay it. Supporters of the bill focused on the fact that, under its language, in 2011 the amount of an estate exempted from the tax would be increased to $3.5 million and the tax rate would be reduced to 45%. Opponents, who had supported the repeal of the estate in 2002, were against this bill because they claimed it would effectively reinstate that tax. |
