"eliminate the estate tax in 2010"
A year of suspicious deaths of the super rich I predict.

They avoid the real issue, which is that government stealing any percent of a family legacy is wrong no matter the amounts involved.
Hell they don't know what "WRONG" means. There is no point debating the issue from there.

George Voinovich says the cost of eliminating it is too great: Who's money is it, anyway?

The government is demanding to steal up to 40% of the value of what a father or grandfather worked for, because he has the audacity to leave it to his son, daughter, or grandchild.
If this isn't communism, what is?

liberal propaganda... Absolutely, considering the richest families (Gates, Soros, etc.) have been the biggest opponents of repealing this tax. Why? Because they don't have have to pay it anyway, protecting their money in tax-exempt foundations (among other shelters). The estate (death) tax hurts small businesses and the middle/upper-middle class exclusively.

eliminate the estate tax in 2010, and reimpose it in 2011 with a $1 million exemption. In 2010, I would not want to be a wealthy person with ruthless heirs.

Who's money is it, anyway? The Government's, silly. The fact it has already been taxed once is immaterial. Be glad you get to keep any at all!

To: Karl Rand
Groups funded by the super-rich have engaged in a deceptive campaign to convince the public that estate taxes cause widespread problems for small businesses and family farms when they actually affect about one in 370 estates, said the report released by Public Citizen and Boston-based United for a Fair Economy.Socialists are almost as brainless as muslims. They make the most outrageous statements hoping no one is smart enough to see through the BS...
One in 370 sounds like "Oh my God! almost nobody is affected but the super rich!"
If we have 150,000,000 households in the US, that would come to 405,500 households; hardly "nobody but the rich".

If this isn't communism, what is? Confiscating it at the source, with high taxation.

said the report released by....Boston-based United for a Fair Economy.http://www.faireconomy.org/:
United for a Fair Economy is a national, independent, nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. UFE raises awareness that concentrated wealth and power undermine the economy, corrupt democracy, deepen the racial divide, and tear communities apart. We support and help build social movements for greater equality.

Another opinion piece masquerading as news reporting.
Its wrong for the rich (George Sorros for example) to campaign to keep their own money and pass it on to their children but I guess its alright though for the rich to campaign to for the government to take more of other peoples money and to take away the rights of the common man to practice his faith and to take the lives of the unborn.
