but still much higher than it was for most of the first 150 years of our country's history

and why do people who don't face a death tax spend so much time whining that the rates on others are too low?

We know you don't believe in taxes. We got it.

What do you care? Are you waiting to make money over Uncle Frank's coffin?
 
envy and jealousy

spite and bitterness

put them in a blender and you get support for the death tax

And again, for a time beyond calculation or counting, you play the all purpose ENVY CARD. When all reason is found absent, when the facts are simply not there to support you, when analysis is as rare as frigid day in the August of Miami, you again play the ENVY CARD. This sites version of the snooty high school girl who whines "you just hate me because I'm beautiful". Its a self given compliment that reeks of elitism as well as a denial of the obvious.

The use of such a weak adolescent comeback speaks volumes about the user and does not one thing to negate the truth of the statement which propelled it. The fact is a simple one and cannot be denied : every American citizen has a right - perhaps even a civic duty - to be informed and speak out on vital issues of national policy to properly play their role in a democratic republic. And that includes a national tax policy. And that includes estate or inheritance taxes.

another lie-I merely believe in fair taxation not a system that is designed to buy the votes of the many and encourage them to demand more spending that only a small group is tasked to pay for

that you spend so much time trying to convince yourself and a few others that I am wrong really proves I have hit the mark solidly

Being selfish and uncaring is the thing that is wrong, Turtle.
Have you ever left the sanctity of your "ivory tower" and dared to mix with the masses - or the poor. ??
And, at this point, I am against the inheritance tax, but of course, the capital gains tax should be higher...
 
I did answer and in fact feel rather foolish for providing an ever so obvious answer to such a ridiculous question.

I don't enjoy stooping to the ground level of those who are grossly inferior and will be more careful in the future.
translation, you know i'm right, but can't bring yourself to admit it. i've got you pegged for being about 16 and full of shinola. little girl, if you can't hang with the big dogs, get off the porch....

NO. What it proves is that no matter how many days in a row you pretty much post the same thing in thread after thread after thread, people of intelligence and patriotism will stand up and expose the true motives behind your own personal desire for your own tax cut.
 
I favor a high estate tax on only the very liquid assets.

Another lie as evidenced by your previous post:

The inheritance tax is only 90 years old, and for the last decade it has been lower than anytime in the last 80 years.
 
I would wager inheritance is the single largest contributor to wealth inequality and absence of equality of opportunity this side of compound interest or the mortgage interest deduction.
If you actually earned your own money I'm sure you would believe the things you worked hard for and payed taxes on during your lifetime should go to your family rather than some over-sized bureaucratic wasteful government that would squander it on $800 toilet seats and buying the votes of losers who do nothing but sit on their butts all day getting high and making babies__Quitters are losers but winners never give up!

I can guarantee you that your life's failures are not due to "inequality" but rather to the fact that you're a helpless whiney loser who believes you need a nanny government to take care of you from cradle to grave__You have the choice to remain a frightened dependent loser with no self-confidence and blaming others for your failures or find the Forest Gump within you, face life's challenges and never accept failure as an option.

I find supporting government addiction, government expansion and fostering dependency on the government tit to be selfish and uncaring especially when those who push that stuff do it for political gain

capital gains should not be higher and its selfish to demand that they be raised

Duh, before that malignancy was created it was ZERO. Only you could claim that a rate that is above Zero is not higher than the zero rate

I don't disagree with ALL you are saying. I do have a couple of exceptions.

Does your beliefs include "children", indigent elderly, and the disabled? Do they have the political or otherwise ability to just accept the challenges of life...go with the hand they were dealt?

I know kids can sometime be whiny...but losers because that might fall a little short on taking care of all their own needs?

Define "inequality"...if you don't mind.

I mean are you saying that inequality doesn't exist at all...? All things are equal in opportunity for everybody? No factors prevent success for all people?



I agree with much of what TD said...
I find supporting government addiction, government expansion and fostering dependency on the government tit to be selfish and uncaring especially when those who push that stuff do it for political gain

I hate being taxed...as probably as must as TD. I'm retired. And to be bluntly honest...my lifestyle is not trying to survive among the bottom 80%. Capital Gains...well, I sure as hell don't want the rate to rise.

But does your beliefs apply to every human being in America? Do we live in a totally victimless society? Every person in America made his or her bed? Are there Zero exceptions?

You previously said, "but still much higher than it was for most of the first 150 years of our country's history"

There was no inheritance tax prior to 90 years ago, so its rate could hardly have been lower.

Once again you are admitting that you won't stop whining as long as there are taxes.

major fail on your part

any rate higher than zero is higher than zero.

and you won't stop whining until anyone you perceive to be wealthier than you is taxed to the point that they have no more discretionary income than you do
 
The entire list of federally imposed taxes is long. Our government, made of of every Party composition possible, over the last 232 years, have systematically increased its power to legislate themselves the ability to rob America blind.

They have used the publc's credit card to buy votes from the very people who must repay the debt.

Unfortunately the debt/income ratio now demands a halt to the use of the publics credit card...and an overwhelming payment is due which the card owners can't repay.

Somebody has to close shop! I can see huge claw marks left throughout Washington.

As I said before, we are all aware that you want no taxes. The lowest rate in its history is not good enough for you. We've got it already, you don't have to keep crying about it.

find a post of mine where I have said this. and then you can admit you were lying

You have whined about the lowest tax rate in 80 years and said:

We've got it, you don't want any inheritance tax rate higher than zero.

You are right in a very limited sense , I believe-there should be no death tax or tax on estates but that is far different than saying I am against all taxes.

Its like claiming anyone who is against people owning ICBMs is in favor of a complete gun ban or that if you think partial birth abortion should be banned you want to enslave women

same logic

same stupidity

That's what I said, you are not satisfied with the inheritance tax being the lowest in 80 years, you want it to be zero. Glad you could finally bring yourself to admit it!
