Estate Taxes + Death Panels = Will people be denied care so that the gov’t can get their hands on people’s money?
Scary thought.
Sounds like Caligula or Nero when the Imperial Roman treasury ran out of gold. Presidential candidate McCain did say that we had nothing to fear from an Obama presidency./spit
The origin of the death tax was ancient Rome. Nero needed a way to find rebuilding Rome so he levied a death tax. Then nobles across the empire started to die.
For a more recent example, Donald Scott in california had land the government coveted. They were sure that he was growing dope on that prime real estate. So prime that they had the property appraised before they raided the place. He was shot dead and his widow had to sell to the .gov to settle the estate.
Why do you think they keep moving the SS age UP? My pastor waited until 65 to sigh up to draw his SS, he could have retired from his primary job at 62 and still gone on preaching. NEVER saw the first check as he had a massive heart attack before it ever came. Now they are talking about moving the age limit to a higher retirement range. Your body is beginning to wear out at about 60..take your SS at 62 and get on with living your life.
