That has got to end. It punishes people who have worked their hearts out in businesses or made sacrifices to build an estate.....it does not belong to the feds.

I agree.

Living in a barely still rural county I see the farms being sold off for housing. The land is now worth millions. All the time the farmer worked the land he barely made ends meet. The weather always being the enemy. The cost of fuel rising, having trouble finding farmworkers, etc.

After all that the government decides it's your partner????????

Our farmer friend inherited when his dad died. They had worked the farm for over fifty years. Dairy farming 24/7 and 365. When the farmer sold off a piece of the land due to taxes, the IRS was at the closing and took just about all of the sale money.
