He signed this yesterday. The bill gives various types of tax relief to the families of victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. No federal income tax on the 2001 salaries earned by the victims. No estate taxes.

Hey … what happened to “equal protection under the law?” If your husband is killed in a car wreck in 2001 is your loss any less than someone who lost a loved one at the Pentagon or the World Trade Towers? Why should you be subject to estate taxes, and they are not?

Sorry. Bad law. Bad precedent. Expect trouble from this one in the future.
