In [a story](http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5735999) on people without health insurance, NPR interviewed a spokesman for a “consumer advocacy group” who warned that we shouldn’t get rid of the estate tax (so we can spend more tax dollars on health care). Yeah, that’s what consumers think — except for the [68 percent](http://www.taxfoundation.org/blog/show/1639.html) of them who do want to repeal it.
