This is interesting. In a previous post I noted that if we kept the estate tax (the so-called death tax), we could fund social security out past the end of the century. The estate tax impacts only people with more than $1M. Thus we can say the administration wants to sacrifice the gov'ts most popular social program, one that benefits tens of millions of people, all to save money for the wealthiest 4% of the population so that those rich people can pass unearned wealth to others. A gov't "for the people" -- which class of people? Regards, . Randy -- Citizens jailed without charges or trial, seizing property based on "secret" evidence, wire taps and surveillance, urging millions to spy on their neighbors, military tribunals, US-run torture prisons and Cuban concentration camps, FBI no-evidence warrants to search your library records; and we're supposedly fighting for freedom?!? _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
