a sensible tax policy to get your dem allies elected? perhaps

but the current tax policy only is guaranteed to keep the middle class demanding more government and creating more dependancy

That ignores the reality that democrats actually push for LESS and LESS government in many areas of our nations life. As to dependency, I have repeatedly said, and others have joined in also, that we do NOT want one person dependent on the government and strongly favor a nation where there is not one person who is on welfare or other such programs.

uh pushing for states to recognize gay marriage is hardly less government and the fact is its the dems who need people to be dependent on government.
 
it is psychobabble. "we the people" cannot possibly be interpreted as stating that the constitution was designed to make people even in economic outcome or create "fairness" based on equivalent outcomes

Are you telling me that the first three words of America's most important document is psychobabble??

Tell me what other lines of the Constitution are psychobabble?

What other parts of the constitution needs to be changed because it cannot be interpreted as "fairness". fairness to who?

Maybe after the Constitution gets uhh replaced with "fairness , we could work on the bill of rights or those amendments huh?lol

Are you sure you are an American, because I gotta tell you a lot of American blood has helped pay for what you call PSYCHOBABBLE.:peace
 
Totally non responsive and worthless as a comment involving my claim that it is the rich who are taxed unfairly. You ranted that the Revolution was started over unfair taxes but you imply that its the poor and middle class being treated unfairly by the tax code which is completely specious given that this thread is about the death tax and it is the rich-who are slapped with this idiotic surcharge -who are treated unfairly

OMG??? What was I thinking of course I pity the rich , those poor rich who ride in limos run companies anyway they want and if they start to lose profits go to the government for bailout money.
Of course my heart bleeds for the poor rich who get taxed for being rich and get a tax refund for paying taxes.
Of course I feel sorry for the rich , out here you steal a hundred dollars it's 1 to 5.
The rich steal millions and if caught go to Camp MED, out here it's some rathole.
Of courese I'm almost in tears at the thought of the rich having to hire another accountant to count their money and the lawyers they keep on retainer plus bodyguards well I gotta stop now I,I,, I'M GETTING ALL CHOKED UP. LOL,LOL,LOL:peace

some people would look at getting government out of our lives as less government.

No what is psychobabble is your idiotic attempts to use those words to justify the government-through force-seizing the property of the productive to give it to the unproductive, the lazy and the untalented

Yeah and others get on my ass for claiming ENVY AND SPITE motivates lots of the bash the rich idiocy I see on this board.

Not only are your posts oozing mendacity, they are just plain stupid.

Not very nice.... not very nice at all.
 
So is paranoia.........

when you find some let me know. what we do see is several people who constantly rant about the rich and want the rich to be taxed more apparently to salve their sense of failure

Uhmm you are about the only person who rants about the rich.......
 
Yep when you get in them...

your attempts to divert things are silly. This board is littered with rants about the rich. many of them coming from the same 4-6 posters

Just who is it that you accuse of failure?

And how do you obtain this personal information about other posters?
 
stop lying. this board is filled with threads whining about the rich

No. There are other citizens who have an interest in developing a just national tax policy. The rest is your demonization of people who take a different position that you being able to satisfy your own personal greed.

the only rich people who whine about increasing the estate tax are either the uber wealthy or those who gain more by having dems win.

Sadly such noble (LOL) reasons are not what motivates most of the tax the rich crowd on this board. most of their posts are infected by obvious spite towards the rich

Oh Bull ****. If people were truly concerned about a "just" tax policy they would argue for no estate taxes, single taxation, and either a flat or consumption tax and tailor spending accordingly. The fact is that the wealthy are taxed more for no other reason than they have more. If you substituted the reasons for a different tax rate or took from an estate because of the color of skin, religion, or other factors you would be in violation of the equal protections clause of the fourteenth, so substitute rich for any other reason and you would be guilty of bias, the fact is that taxing someone based on an arbitrary amount of wealth you consider "enough" is in fact unjust.

its all about buying the votes of the many by spending other peoples' money to do so
 
Let's eliminate income tax completely and just tax capital gains! That's equitable - at least, it's as equitable as having a "use tax" or "Federal sales tax". And it doesn't change the current position of law, that capital gains should be taxed at a different rate than income. Problem solved! :lol:

I get tired of people who want to keep the current tax system in place. I don't think they get that the only people gaining from it are CPAs, class elite wealthy who want to stay elite, the IRS, and politicians.

I have a better idea. lets tax people for what they use in government services-that's almost as realistic and far fairer

then people like you will have a choice-if you want a government that provides everything you cannot do on your own you are going to be paying lots and lots of taxes. and for people like me who don't need a nanny state to wipe my butt and save for my retirement, I will have far more money to invest

tax lawyers, CPAs and insurance brokers/companies (for example Geico is owned by Buffett's BH) are the ones who lobby the most to keep the death tax
