What are the odds?
Will the federal estate tax be repealed this year? Or will the Senate force a compromise, say a 15% tax rate and $10 million exemption? Would this certainty be better than being estate-tax free for one year?

They should show some guts and hold out for complete repeal. But they haven't shown much guts this year so far.
Guts, cojones, call them what you will, the Republicans of today are generally lacking in that regard--and you can see that weakness in many fields--immigration control, cultural fightback, etc.--besides tax policy. How can patriots help them stiffen their spines?
