Sanders: estate tax proposal benefits top 3/10 of 1%
Recounts the history of the tax. TR quotes about concentration of wealth and its evils. Notes how under Clinton it was $675k excluded, top rate of 55%. The proposal would move it to $5,000,000 excluded, with a top rate if only 35%. Waltons would receive $32 billion in tax breaks under this plan.

Seven hours in(?), and it's still killer and no filler. Bernie kicks so much ass.
