>> Which reminds me...
HOW MUCH IN TAXES DID TED KENNEDY’S HEIRS PAY? <<
What a lot of people don’t realize is that this affects the super rich very little as they have a financial advisers and lawyers on retainer to twist and jump through loopholes for them so they don’t have to pay jack squat when one of their ilk takes a dirtnap in a plane or drives off a bridge...
This is nothing buy a lawyer employment act as a lot of medium sized farms and small to mid sized family businesses will HAVE to hire a lawyers and financial advisers to be able to give their offspring what is left of their business or farm.
I think being a member of the Bar should EXCLUDE you from serving in the Legislative branch.
My point is that the rotton corrupt Ted Kennedy fought for his lifetime against repealing the inheritance tax. I’m pointing out his hypocrisy.
Additionally, I would wager that the Jackie Kennedy estate was dramatically undervalued when you recognize the intrinsic value those items had when only a small portion were auctioned off at Sotheby’s or Christie’s (to PAY for the estate taxes).
Amen!!
Just made a new Will using LegalZoom.com. Very effficent and not expensive. All done in three days.
“I think being a member of the Bar should EXCLUDE you from serving in the Legislative branch.”
Now, that would wipe out one heckuva part of the House and Senate, wouldn’t it?
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
I knew a lawyer who was a partner in a decent sized law firm which did a lot of tax work for businesses. He was explicit that his entire practice was devoted to protecting his clients' assets from the government. Pure and simple. He was a busy man, and one of the "good lawyers" I have known.
