It amazes me that farmers haven’t sat around and figured some method of creating a “trust” or some joint-ownership deal...and just skip over the estate dilemma. We’ve got a thousand various holes for business owners get around problems...farmers ought to have the same potential.

I wonder how much the “Estate Tax” confiscated from the Kennedy Estate when Rose Kennedy died?

[all the best]

Rob the living, rob the dead. A nation of parasites is headed for collapse. Tax the rich or thou shall not covet other people’s wealth. The fact that covetousness, envy, jealousy and theft are about all you need to know about this man.

..he can take the peas and shove em in his ears...if there’s enuff

After paying taxes your entire life, the government has no business hitting up your estate for more. The estate is comprised (theoretically) of the proceeds you manage to hold onto after these blood-suckers get their hands out of your pockets. Estate taxes are no different than stealing from the dead.

how much land is govt buying up in the areas he has been visiting

There’s a mid-level proposal that would exempt most - almost all family farms and nevertheless would still hit folks like Warren Buffett and make sure that he is able to pay what he wants to pay in terms of passing on something not only to his family, but also to the country that has blessed him so much.

This Warren Buffett obsession of obama's is just plain icky.

Most importantly, buffett is a grown man if he wants to give to the gov't, fine if he wants to give to his family, fine........none of this requires congress to make the decision for him.

The same damn bunch of men and women who can't seem to pay their taxes want to govern yours, this is going to have to stop, damn grave robbers.

Population in 2010 - 672 folks....I didn't look but every place he's visited is about 98% white.

We can expect Moochelle to d the black gigs after their vacation.

Alright, Higher Estate Tax makes lying Warren Buffett Life Insurance Companies.

The higher Estate Tax the easier and more people buy Life Insurance to pay the death Tax.

‘I wonder how much the “Estate Tax” confiscated from the Kennedy Estate when Rose Kennedy died?’

IIRC, they moved her to Fla weeks before she died making
Her a ‘resident’ of Fla, therefore no estate tax.
I could be wrong on this, but I believe they paid nothing.

[Sacajaweau]

Obviously a planted question....You know darn well he doesn’t know the rate/exemption in 2001 and the general de-escalation since then.

[holden]

Both Alpha and Atkinson were certainly overwhelmed by the 20+ vehicle entourage that descended upon them. The convoy's occupants buying gas, breakfast, and miscellaneous certainly dramatically, upwardly spiked cash expenditures in the towns on the day they were visited.

I'm sure this overwhelming "invasion" was calculated to set townspeople on their heels, keeping them from gathering any critical mass of resistance that might dare challenge the Messiah.

For any advance team to have found these teensy villages appropriate to visit, they surely were looking very hard.

The Constitution states that “All men are created equal”. Obama wants to change that to “All men are created, live and die equally in a state run euthanasia hospice ward at a predetermined age with all personal belongings going back to the government”.

Translation, we are going 90% of the way back to 2001 levels

Rose Kennedy died in Hyannisport.

The family claimed she was a resident of Florida at the time of her death even though she hadn't set foot in that state for at least a decade.

There’s only one thing you can’t escape now, and that’s death. Everything that you have worked for, and wanted to pass down to your children, will be confiscated by the government to settle the death tax bill. Look for the government to go after trust funds, living wills, and other loopholes in the near future. My advice, if you think it’s your time to go, liquidate all of your assets, distribute it to your children under the table as you see fit, and go out with the satisfaction of knowing that you went out giving the feds the middle finger.

[ADSUM]

Why should the government be allowed to double and triple tax our income and assets?

The death tax is an absurd tax that steals from us and then spent it in a wasteful manner.

Why is the government entitled to 55% of anybody’s net worth (after it has already been taxed as income)?
