PLEZ HELP WITH THIS QUESTION: Opponents of the estate tax have portrayed farmers as being hurt the most by the estate tax, causing them to lose their family farms. In reality: a. this is true; most small family farms have now been lost to large corporations. b. this is true; most small family farms have been lost to the government. c. this is not true; the majority of family farms are far below the estate tax threshold and are not affected by the tax. d. this is true for small farms only, not large farms valued over $500,000.
Is this a political question? Certainly doesn't sound like math... Since you don't seem to have any data to back up any of the possible answers, this sounds like you are being "taught" (term used loosely) to either support or condemn the views of estate tax opponents. The terms "small farm", "large farm", "family farm", "large corporations", and "most" are all so vague as to make this entire questions essentially an opinion question. Too bad it's being presented to you as "education". Good luck with it :)
