Farmer's Beware

Yarmuth is for re establishing Estate Taxes on the very wealthy. (Courier Journal endorsement of Yarmuth ... see below the exact quote)
If you are as many in Louisville are, Farm Family members from outside of Louisville... The re-establishment of Estate Taxes will kill the average family farm.
Small farms of 165 Acres will value at death near 2 Million Dollars in most areas. The taxes on these "Estates" will be more than most can afford forcing the sale of small acreage farms. Worse yet if you own up to 1000 acres your taxes will be increased, to the same as the VERY WEALTHY.
Now most farm families I know are not WEALTHY. They may be well off or, just making it.
A vote for Yarmuth is a vote to end Family Farms and to make Rich People like Yarmuth Richer.
