Death Tax

[DrMaddVibe]

Nothing like taxing something for a 3rd , 4th or maybe a 5th time eh?

If it wipes criminal "dynasties" like the BCE off the face of the earth, tax them 9, 10, or 20 times. However much is neccessary.

Or if it takes YOUR own families cash?

My family aren't billionaires, so I don't have to worry about it.

That makes it all the more criminal to me...multiple taxation I mean.

There's no way you will either!

The estate tax may not be ideal, but it IS fair. What are you bitching about vibe and train? that you don't get to inherit all of daddy's money? go earn some yourselves 9as I know you are train).

Its abolition - especially without finding funding elsewhere -should not be the chief item on the policy agenda. If we want to maximise national savings, perhaps it would be prudent to keep the tax and reduce the budget deficit, hmm?

if productive investment is the aim, we should explore eliminating thew mortgage interest deduction, the subsidy that encourages us to buy houses rather than invest in productive assets. that would also rasie revenue.

but no, in this country it's spin and prjudice that its really about.

The party of old CREATED the tax - Teddy Roosevelt. So, no, I'm just a traditionalist.

that being said, Pat Robertson ROCKS!

I believe he predicted the hurricane currently moving toward Florida.

It's actually not a "death tax," it's really an INHERITENCE TAX!! It affects only the top 1%'s little kids that are getting a ton of money already. They can afford it! But continue on with what (Republican) Lou Dobbs calls "the war on the Middle Class," the class of people this country lives and dies by...

Exactly.

A prominent Democrat's view on taxes:

"Many of you are well enough off that the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." - Hillary Clinton.

Not to defend the bitch, but you don't think gw&friends are taking money from you when they go bomb brown people?

who does that help?

What I'm bitching about is the principle, which is why I asked "how much is enough" before.

This Robin Hood "they have enough mentality" is a huge reason why we have no savings or real income per capita. Who cares who gets it, as a general principle, the estate tax is a bad idea. It seems like the only good argument here for it is because it makes people feel good that the top 1% are being taxed. That's weak thinking.

[scamper]

The point is that it's not 1/3 of your income thats getting taxed, it's more like 50 percent after sales tax, property tax, gas tax...etc. Those are taxes we have to pay too, it's not like taxing cigs or beer which are optiional. Who gives a shit what the rich people pay, we're all getting screwed with the current system.

Might be. Maybe the username wasn't a reference to the election at all, but a prediction of how much longer her career had left.

Either way it was a bad prediction. Titney and Chimpy are both done.

Bush did get 4moreyears so I could not have been too far off.
