I feel compelled to say that the "that" I was referring to was "death" 
not "the estate tax" ... Yoshie was saying that most people die with 
only their house as an asset; I'd also say 'retirement accounts' are up 
there on the list.  I did go on to claim that many small business become 
unworkable after encountering the inheritance tax, and others have 
posted that this is largely old info thanks to the phase out underway 
since 2001.
