with all the talk about making the Bush tax cuts permanent...does anyone know the status for the inheritance portion - oddly enough there seems to be no discussion on this in media or in congress of late - (zero taxes on those as it should be in 2010)...if anyone has a dollar to leave to their families or children best die before Dec 31 or the almighty govt parasites get a big portion from the “get go” under the fall back to 2000 rules

Just make sure there are no freepers in the ICU on December 31st. The vultures will be circling.
