I don't know of anyone that has paid death taxes. Would you care to list a few people who have done this?


are you trying to divert the thread with idiotic diversion?
 
As to the allegation that a politician would be voted out of office - by whom exactly?

As to the second - the shooting - is that some sort of half baked threat on behalf of the one-percenters with you as their masked avenger wreaking that penalty yourself?

why doesn't your beloved Democrat party-the party of parasites and feed the government more party propose such a scheme?

Actually he is taking your very claims in your very words and challenging you to prove them.

Can you?

THe estate pays the death taxes-which I have already stated within the last hour. SO his dishonesty is rather obvious

Why don't you answer the question that you yourself brought about? You seem to confuse me with the people who write the Democratic policy at the convention this summer. While I guess I should be flattered, unfortunately, I will not be given that responsibility. If I were, you could bet your life I would write it just the way I have repeatedly advocated.

Now again Turtle, as to the second - the shooting - is that some sort of half baked threat on behalf of the one-percenters with you as their masked avenger wreaking that penalty yourself?

So when challenged, its an estate tax. When you want to be over the top partisan, you embrace the neologism of the death tax. We are clear. Thank you for clarifying that.

It's not a diversion, it's a simple request. You call it a death tax and insist people are paying it. I would like to know who these people are because I don't know any person who has ever paid a death tax.

It's your dishonesty by using the term "death tax" and insisting people pay it.

death tax and estate tax are interchangeable descriptions of the same thing

only those emotionally attached to and in love with the estate tax soil think other wise

We could also claim that anyone who has straight salary income has never paid income taxes because the employer withholds the money and sends it to the IRS not the taxpayer

Under those terms most people could also claim they never get paid at all since few people actually receive cash from their employer anymore.

no that is not the same thing
 
I tire of those who don't pay this tax whining I should pay more of it.

You don't pay, I have no use for what you say
doesnt matter if you have 'no use' for what i say, i will still voice my opinion...you are wrong, you know, you should admit it.....
 
Why not? What's the difference???

If you cannot see then I cannot help you

if you have your bank account increased by your employer that is exactly the same thing as he giving you a wad of money

No. They. Are. Not.

There is no tax upon death.

Why do you insist on making low level personal slurs against those who simply disagree with you on a policy issue? To say something like your second line about emotional attachment and being in love is the antitheses of serious debate. Why do you engage in that when you claim to be an Ivy League educated attorney? It is perhaps the biggest mystery on this board.

You have been wrong on this issue from day one. And you have no proper standing to demand others pay more when you pay none

Your semantic games are childish. we all know what death tax refers to. and death is the precipitating event

not creating or building up the estate
 
If you cannot see then I cannot help you

if you have your bank account increased by your employer that is exactly the same thing as he giving you a wad of money
My account with Uncle Sam increases as well - I authorize the IRS deduction when I fill out my W-4 form.

Because it looks the same.
Because it smells the same.
Because if you stacked it up in tens nobody in the world could accurately tell the difference.
Because it spends the same.
Because it enriches you the same.

And all this has been tediously explained to you on many occasions in many threads by many people many times.

Playing semantic games is indeed childish. And that is exactly what you do when you engage in this death tax BS.

And that is exactly what you do when you attack others personally with silly remarks abotu being in love when they take a different position than you do on national tax policy.

Yes Turtle, CHILDISH is an excellent descriptor.

You have been taught repeatedly over and over and over by many people that DEATH does not tax anybody. Even the very rich with estates up the rear corridor. Let them burn it all with them in a glorious Viking style pyre. How much will they owe in death tax for that Turtle? How much is that death tax?

again, doesnt matter what you think, i am an American citizen, i am a tax payer, and that is all the standing i need....whether you think i have standing or not, i will still post my opinion...you need to get over yourself.

Lets bet 500 dollars haymarket

I bet more than half of those who actually know what the estate tax is (ie GOP voters) will also say that "death tax" means the same thing

post all you want-but you and I both know your opinion has no merit and you have no standing in this issue

oh, indeed i will post all i want, whether you think i have standing or not...again, get over yourself.
 
Since "income" seems to have so many different meanings depending on the circumstances, maybe we should just call it the slave tax. I'm sure most people are aware of the term "wage slave" so it won't be a big step to rename the tax for it to slave tax.
