How about the family farm? right now,the inheritance tax forces people to

Inheritance taxes are put in place, and rather blantantly if you listen
to the people pushing them, solely to punish those who make so much
money that they offend the pushers. Inheritances should be taxed by what
they are. If business, then the inheritors pay the cap gains tax just
like they would have if they had bought it (and get the stepped up
basis).
