The Senate defeated a plan to permanently end the estate tax. I have a long rant about why I support this tax from an economic perspective, but I'll just leave it at this: everyone's who's going on and on about how they worked hard all their lives for this money, and it's so unfair for them to have to pay this tax, stop worrying. You won't have to pay anything, because YOU'LL BE DEAD! Apparently there's some people in this country who are unclear on the concept of how death works exactly.
