Senator Sanders: My estimate is they will save 30 billion dollars through the repeal of the Estate Tax. Tell me why they need a 30 billion tax break, and what do they do with that 30 billion dollars then.
Director Nussel: I’ve no idea. But my bet is that they’re quite philanthropic, as are many in that situation. Again, I don’t know what they do with it. But they earned it.
Senator Sanders: I’m glad you’re concerned with the Walton family. Some of us are concerned about other . .

That’s the way I see it.
