It was a test. You failed; you know nothing about estate taxes.
Ya I'm being snarkey. Just couldn't resist.
No you are once again showing how much of an idiot you are. The person on this thread who knows the most about estate taxes (and usually isn't my ally) said I pretty got it right:

Actually what rj said is pretty much true.

so, Silk, it's not that your are "snarkey". It's that you are a total moron, but we all knew that.
P.S. Antics like you are the opposite of this thread's purpose.

His estate paid NO estate tax due to our elected representatives inability to accomplish anything.
Saved his heirs around 500 mil
When you say elected representatives, you should really say republicans. They had no interest in doing anything a far as compromise and were ticked pink that a year went by where a bunch of super wealthy people transferred unrealized gains tax free to their heirs.
Yes, I am a corporate tax consultant.
at the end of the day, I don't see any significant tax reform. Government will be too divided. She is trying to appeal to the more progressive Bernie voters. Funny how this gets all of the noise from the right when other aspects of her tax plan would actually impact a material % of americans unlike this, which would impact almost nobody.

So, yes, they were tickled that a year existed with no death tax.
And if you don't have an estate tax mechanism, then you shouldn't have a basis step up either.
If I own a start up that I built myself, and the company value was $10 million when I started it and my stock FMV at my death had grown to $500 million, should that $490 million gain be allowed to avoid taxation altogether? What is fair about that?
David Plouffe, the brains behind Obama 2008 & 2012, is the brighest political operative since Ken Mehlman. He's been calm, matter of fact, and has avoided pretending Hillary doesn't have issues.
Conservatives will go nuts that Plouffe claims there's a 100% chance that Hillary will win, but he has an intimate understanding of swing states that nobody in the Trump campaign and RNC can match. Plouffe thinks GOTV adds 1 to 3% depending on the state. Matters most in PA and FL. Believes that Trump will take IA & OH, but has problems in PA, FL, CO, and NH. Claimed that Mehlman's GOTV activities alone carried OH in 2004.
Plouffe noted that Obama carried FL by 1% in 2012, but voter changes give Dems a net 2.5% advantage in FL since 2012. Trump will have to overcome that with a skeleton organization.
Expects Johnson support to collapse and Stein/Johnson combined will be 7/8%. Said an 8 point convention lead was unnatural, acknowledges the race is close now, but could potentially move to 4-6%. Believes Hillary will be above 300 EVs (538's @ 283 and Princeton's @ 290).
Conway's way sharper than Rove, but she fillibusters way too much about Trump's most blatent lies and has never had access to the same data and/or swing state experience as Plouffe.
So FMR why are all the polls crashing for Clinton if there's not a serious trend moving towards trump? Is it simply voter fatigue? Willingness to answer polling? Flawed polls? Nothing but internal optimism shows anything but a move towards trump. I mean silver has it essentially 50-50. Is this just where races turn at this cycle, Romney tied with before and then up on Obama after first debate?
What I don't get is that the same people that put the race within the margin of error also say:
Hillary is within 1-3% of Obama's lead with blacks
She is ahead more with Hispanics
He is only up 1-2% with non-college educated whites
She is up 1% with college educated whites versus Romney winning that demographic by something like 14%
One set of numbers has to be way off.
