Meanwhile, Republicans insist on repeal. That won't happen this year; Democrats say they've got the votes to sustain a veto. But Republicans figure they will get it next year, under President George W. Bush...
...they better off now than they were four years ago? Do they want continued prosperity which can fund greater social services, or do they want massive tax cuts for the same few hundred impossibly wealthy Americans who would have benefited from the estate tax repeal? Your voters want wider health care coverage, certain social security and safety from crime.

And while Clinton has vowed to stand in the way of the bill, the Republicans are only 11 votes short of those needed to overcome a veto...
...backing that up with a separate bill that would ease the tax 5% a year until it reaches zero by 2010. And G.O.P. Governor George W. Bush of Texas has vowed to kill the tax outright if elected President. Many Democrats agree with Vice President Al Gore that a repeal would be a sop to the rich. But others believe the benefits for small companies outweigh that concern. Democratic Representative John Tanner of Tennessee, for one, is co-sponsoring Dunn's bill, and there seem to be enough like-minded Democrats to fashion a compromise on the issue...
