They still have a CR that expires in December, DACA, CHIPS and the CSR payment issues to deal with. Not to mention Russian investigations heating up and high profile GOPers announcing their retirements right and left.

I doubt they could pass and deal with all of that in the remaining 5-6 weeks, let alone tackle a massive tax bill.

Factor in that the odds are incredibly high that Donald is going to do at least 2, probably 3 or more, major incidents to distract from everything in that time period.

Not to be picky, but an estate & gift tax, which is what we have, is not the same as an inheritance tax. Carry on.

The estate tax and the gift tax are two separate things.

The estate tax is, ipso facto, an inheritance tax, because it is paid by the legatee.
