18. Keep Estate Tax,Some of America’s Richest Say
President will make his case1 for his $ 1.6 trillion2 tax cut plan, delivering a speech at a community center in St. Louis. The proposal would slash3 federal tax rates across all levels of income, eliminate the so- called marriage penalty4 and phase out5 estate taxes.

Chairman Bill Gates.
