Nice try, but it's a tax cut. The "subsidy to the wealthy" line is just the Democratic pollsters' response to Luntz's "death tax" line. Personally, I'm all for revoking the estate tax. In fact, I'm for almost anything that means taking the money out of the hands of government and keeping it in the hands of private citizens. And that's really what this debate is all about. The very rich have the ability to do all sorts of interesting things to shield their money from taxes already. Believe me, Paris Hilton isn't going to pay 50% on her inheritance. So it isn't a sop to the very rich. It is, however, a fundamentally anti-government stance. History has demonstrated that, even without a tax on inheritance, families tend to fritter away their wealth within three generations. Look at Paris and Nicky Hilton. I heard Nicky Hilton on TV saying how annoyed she was that people said she was spending her money frivolously. She said, "It's my money, I'll spend it however I like." you go girl! I am all for her pissing her money away, because all that money goes back into the economy and fuels all sorts of interesting forms of expression that only rich people can fund. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:152479 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
