No problem. I'm glad we agree again. We really aren't that far apart, it just seems like it because we don't talk about what we agree with, just debate where we differ lol

Haha! Yes! I supported your welfare bill as well. I think we agree on most fiscal issues.

Nice! I probably need to propose one when I think of one. I usually enjoy commenting on them though.

Why should they get ANY? He's already paid his whole life, and they want him to pay more after he's gone? Despicable.

I would favor changing, reducing, simplifying, etc. -- but current inheritance tax rules already exempt the first 5.25 million dollars of an estate. This seems to me to disproportionately benefit non-productive wealth transfers. Any counterpoints?

They government doesn't have a moral claim to money simply because you died and left it to someone. The inheritance tax is theft, pure and simple.

It isn't about a "moral" claim. The government is the only reason that money has any value as currency, remember.

We have it figured out, I'm leaving right now or I'd tell you myself. Hopefully A-Fly or Jake can tell you. I'm literally walking out the door right now

Here you go sir: 71K->143K raise by .10% 143K->218K raise by .10% and plus the addition of the taxes on the rich with our budget should do it. I'm the person behind the numbers.

Sorry I had some business to take care of. This sums that up and I'm very pleased with the support so far

One more question: this only eliminates the federal estate tax, and does not interfere with state inheritance taxes, correct?

We have a spending problem not a revenue problem.

What is the current law regarding inheritance tax? I could not find any previous bill dealing with it, but please forgive if I missed one.
