Weiner says you are not paying anything because you are dead. He doesnt tell you that those that get the inheritance are paying for those politicians that created debt and are dead.

It's not their money; they're DEAD," he kept repeating in as haughty a manner as possible. And "it's not the heirs' money; they didn't earn it!"

The rights of the producer of the wealth are relevant here. The producer, through the concept of ownership, has the right to use and dispose of his own property while he is alive, which includes being able to choose the recipient of his property after he is dead.No one else is entitled to make that choice. When libtards denounce inherited wealth, it is the right of the producer that they in fact are attacking.

Rep. Weiner is an s.o.b. He is an example of an unthinking taker - a loud tick on an animal infested with them. The death tax is at least triple taxation. Up his and the death tax should be stopped tomorrow - with torches and pitchforks if necessary - not that that will ever happen, just saying.

Yea, next election, most of the rest of them will be gone. They seem to just not get it.

No one owns anything in this corrupt governments eyes

After hearing this jerk, I am beginning to believe a quote by Senator Menendez may actually be an accurate quote. I had originally discounted it because it was more arrogant and ignorant than any quote I felt a Congressman would utter.

Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) declared that Republican demands for extending tax cuts are “terroristic.” The comment came amid negotiations between Republicans and Democrats over the so-called “Bush tax cuts” that are due to expire on December 31 of this year.

“They want us to approve an across-the-board extension of these tax cuts,” Menendez complained.

“They say that taxpayers deserve to keep more of their own money. Their money? Congress is who decides whose money it is. We make the laws. We can distribute this money as we see fit for the benefit of the whole nation.”

Someone please tell me he was misquoted.

The "progressives" think all wealth is public property, and individuals are only "allowed" to contribute their lifelong labor to temporarily have use of some of it.
Until they die.

Then it all has to be returned for recycling. A good thing.

But not everybody.
The majority of the voters who elect said "progressives" don't need to contribute labor at all. None. Zip. Often for generations.

So what's unfair about that?

Using the same logic, I can then steal the remaining monies and property from someone after they pass on but it’s not really theft.

Excellent point!
The man shouldn't care if he's dead!

You, as the neighborhood mugger, have no less right to his remaining wealth than any politician.
The deceased also has no right to complain. In fact, he can't complain.

He's dead.

"Progressive" logic. I shall start an earnest search of the Constitution to find where in it, or in any amendment, private property is defined to be the property of the State; before and after it is created!

Excuse me?
I refuse to believe that the Constitution is just a series of suggestions limiting the scope of the Central Government.

It was a satire... but way too close to reality for comfort!

Menendez Satire

Thought you would enjoy the weiner's comment here:

New York Democrat Anthony Weiner, leaving a meeting between House Democrats and Vice President Biden Wednesday evening, likened the session to a prison brawl.

"Your first day in the prison yard," he said to a colleague, "you've got to punch the biggest guy out or else they're going to keep doing it to you."

The analogy from the aspiring mayor of New York, overheard by a reporter, revealed much about congressional Democrats' thinking as they stew over President Obama's tax-cut deal with Republicans.

That's an scene I would love to see.

I wonder if Weiner is the one who cried out “F-— Obama!” today in the House. (See Drudge.)
