Give it up.

I’m perfectly happy for Cronkite to leave his estate to his kids and his friends.

What a crappy attitude here on FR. Regardless of whether you agree with Cronkite’s views or not, this is a free country, and he enjoyed the same first amendment rights that we do.

I hate estate taxes, and if I don’t want to pay them, it would be hypocritical for me to want anyone else to.

This is just a stupid discussion.

Get real. Cronkite walked into the polling place and voted with his fellow rats for government to confiscate more and more - - from his neighbors. If he did anything at all to shield his own estate from those taxes he so enjoyed foisting on everybody else, then it is he who is the hypocrite. I hope the government sucks Cronkite's estate dry. (spit) Screw that traitorous cadaver.

i had to hock hard assets to cover it...a beast to accomplish in this economy

a problem many would like to have but just peeling off low 7 figs to pay Obama and going into debt to cover it sucks

anybody got an estate...die in 2010..no tax

we got hit at 45%...and boy howdy did I dance a dance on estate appraisals and the big return...but they still clobbered us ..even after years of planning

and all in a very down year for my asset sectors

Good points made; I think we were commenting on how surprised the woman seemed to have been if she got nothing from Uncle Walter. All he ever gave the American people was socialist indoctrination.
