People opposed to inheritance taxes like to connect them to family farms, as it seems like a logical way in which a sympathetic person could lose something more meaningful than wads of money as a result of the tax.

Of course, despite years of using this as a theoretical example, they haven't actually found a family farm that was destroyed by inheritance taxes. Dan Duncan's descendants thank the theoretical farmers for their good PR.
