timmyfitz 0 #130 December 25, 2010 Quoteyou're not going to be super rich - neither are your children. so why are you whining about a tax that isn't going to affect you at all. strange. Quotea doubling of inheritance tax wouldn't affect you in the slightest - why are you so worried on behalf of the super rich? Quoteit's not going to affect you - so why worry on behalf of the super rich? How did you become so ignorant? If something doesn't affect me then I shouldn't be concerned about it? As a white man I should not be concerned with injustices against any non whites because it won't affect me. Gottcha. It's a matter of right versus wrong not whether it affects me. But for someone like yourself that has so much jealousy of rich people, it has turned to hated and blinded you to logic. So sad. (Why are we feeding him. We should all know by now that he has no logical argument about anything. It's all emotion. Lets stop feeding him. Although his post do make me laugh because of the absurdity.) ________________________________ "1981 to 1988 is 7 years"-Kallend (oops, it's actually 8 years,Kallend) The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years.

You have missed the point again but I'm not surprised. Define fair share as it applies to everyone not just rich people. After that tell me how long is a piece of string?

jonstark 8 #138 December 25, 2010 So... My family has been farming the same piece of dirt for four generations. We all put in our fair share as kids, go away for college and some of us come back to pull the load when the old folks get slowed down. Dad wants to leave me the farm but dies before he gets the paperwork done. I inherit the farm but have to sell it to pay the inheritance tax. Two generations have to move into an apartment in the city, get food stamps and heat assistance along with welfare. Or... JP Moneybags gets sent away to boarding school at 6 years old because Mom and Dad don't have "time" to deal with his needs. He stays gone for the next 20 years sucking on the family tit to the tune of $200k per year spent on sex, Red Bull and the fast lane. Dad and Mom crash their Canadair and Junior gets word that he's now rich. The shell game of corporate hide and seek keeps him from actually "showing any inheritance" so he just keeps on collecting his allowance all the while gathering up more and more wealth under the walnut shells his lawyers shuffle and dodge around. -but- indirectly he employs hundreds if not thousands. Hundreds of these might lose their jobs if taxes sapped the corporate capitol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greed envy and jealousy is what all of this sounds like. My customers already paid taxes on the money they paid me to do construction on their house. I guess that shouldn't be taxed either? Your argument that the money has already been taxed doesn't fly. Income is taxed. Inheritance is an income. (taxed at a higher rate, which I don't necessarily agree with). Right now the first $3.5 MILLION of an estate is free of tax. The estate taxes don't affect the overwhelming majority of Americans....

Why would that apply to estate tax, but not to any other tax? All taxes involve taking something of value from someone.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

rushmc 23 #149 December 26, 2010 Then of course a death tax increase will cause the price per acre to rise even more.
