Conservatives call for repeal of estate tax burden on Katrina survivors

Of course, it may be hard for them to find any victims of the hurricane who were also victims of the 'death tax'. Only 709 people in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabam combined paid it in 2003! By definition, these are the wealthiest estates from the region. Somehow I doubt their heirs were stuck in attics or floating around on doors... Just a hunch. Of course, they could donate that money to rebuilding Trent Lott's mansion, so that Bush can sit on his porch!
