I don’t know about other kids, but being in my 70s I was afraid that if I died, much of everything I have earned and saved by driving a 16 year old car, buying clothes at church sales, almost never going out, etc. would go to the government instead of my children and grandchildren. At least they fixed the Death Tax to a bearable level.
Huh?
Any death tax over 0% is to high.
You already paid taxes on everything you have. some you pay a yearly tax on.
You sir should not have your estate taxed once you leave this planet.
it’s not fair to you.
These people in charge need to be run out of the country on both sides.
The republicans are just like the liberals/ tax and more
government in ones life. What a disgrace.

No, the Republicans simply didn’t have the votes to do otherwise. Pubs lost the election and the election had consequences. This is one of them. You can’t have your way if you haven’t got the votes. Pure and simple.
The new congress convenes this Thursday. Boehner could be toast!
Still, we have about 95 Republican members of Congress to be looked into for the possibility of being driven out at the next primary. Many of them ~ the majority actually ~ are from states where we might well want to EXCLUDE the whole Republican party apparatus from the NEW Republican Party. California, New York ~ the usuals where they don't deliver votes to us for President, and they seem to have lost the will to run Senate candidates.
Even Virginia, with its two Democrat senators could be in trouble when we get into purging parties.
Did you know even my fiebreathing drunk Democrat congresscritter voted AGAINST THIS! The dude is showing more cojones lying there on a beerjoint floor than Boehner and his crowd did!
Oh, go sell it somewhere else..
“The Republicans won the House. That’s where they are in the leadership position. It’s time to lead and Boehner and 51 others groveled.”
You remain oblivious to reality. The Pubs would lose no matter. Their vote would be nullified by the Senate and the Obama Admin. It is and was a lose/lose proposition no matter what Boehner and the House did, as the Pubs do not have the votes to win in either the Senate or to be able to override a White House veto. It truly is as simple as that.
“Oh, go sell it somewhere else..”
You don’t take truth very well, do you, even when it hits you upside the head. Face reality. If you really want to do something, start preparing for the second Civil War, a fact that seems more and more inevitable.
>> a White House veto.
How can the White Hut veto its way to authorize Congressional spending?
“How can the White Hut veto its way to authorize Congressional spending?”
They don’t have to. Example, the Hurricane Sandy funding. How are the Pubs going to refuse or minimize authorization of funds without being excoriated in the press and by the Dems. And every time the Pubs close the purse strings to any welfare benefit or other giveaway, the MSM and Dems will go into high propaganda gear.
Then Pubs stand to lose the House this next midterm election because the ignorant low information voters are told how to think by the media and Obama, and then we have control over nothing. We have a dictatorship. Prepare for the second Civil War. It’s coming one day.

Definitely understand that reasoning.
Yes, we all get to go to Terrazienstadt....
I wonder if we could get the time-stamped vote
Ing record to see all those at the end who voted no since the Bill had already passed.
I prefer “The Permanent Bush Tax Cuts” Act
that is the social security tax and yes, everyone should pay it. a 2 year “vacation” from funding SS was a very very bad idea
I vividly recall in 2010 election his stating emphatically "We've got to get back to the Constitutional principles" and promptly after election joined the establishment Republicans and hid under their desks in fear of being called racists for challenging Zero on legal principle. It's all so disgusting.
My Rep voted no, but I do not know if he voted before or after the threshold was crossed.
I noted that my congresscritter - Palazzo of MS voted no, but I’ll still be sending him notice that I no longer consider myself a Republican and will be changing to Independent ASAP. Now to find out how Roger Wicker voted in the Senate...
