No Oil Heir Left Behind

No Oil Heir Left Behind
The kids of the nation’s oil execs stand to reap more than $210 million if the Estate Tax is repealed permanently according to a congressional report. Forget Paris Hilton. They oughta call it the Lee Raymond Jr. tax. The kids of the former Exxon CEO — who recently took a retirement package worth $400 million — stand to inherit an extra $160 million that would otherwise go to pay for national defense, education, Medicare and other vital government programs.
