From 2001 through 2009, under Pres. Bush, the estate tax was in full force, with rates ranging from 45% to 55%. How did the conservatives feel about "Comrade Bush" confiscating and redistributing that wealth as he saw fit?

I suppose one could say Mr. Steinbrenner was fortunate, but my guess is he had his franchise assets protected, estate taxes or not.
