"At a rally in Indiana, Trump touted Kip Tom, a Leesburg resident, as a potential victim 
of this estate tax. He explained that Tom’s family has been in farming for 187 years. 
“That could come to an end because of the death tax or the estate tax,” he warned.
.
But Tom isn’t just some small-time family farmer. 
He is a former congressional candidate; he was recruited 
as a “Young Gun” by the National Republican Congressional Committee.
.
The financial disclosure he filed in 2015 reveals that his income was well into the millions. 
In addition to owning Tom Farms, he is the president of grain storage and drying firm 
CereServ Inc., which he reports gave him over $5 million in income during the reporting period."
