Time magazine columnist and CNN host Fareed Zakaria says Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain’s “9-9-9” tax reform plan is “sloppy and, in parts, bizarre.”
So he offered his own version of a tax reform plan in his weekly column in Time. In it, Zakaria argues that Americans should give the federal government half of what they inherit.
“I would enact a 50 percent inheritance tax, because nothing is more un-American than an inherited elite that perpetuates itself,” Zakaria wrote for the magazine.

CNN and MSNBC hosts should be given every opportunity to show their true color (red).
If I had what I paid into SS, I’d have something for my kids to inherit!!
This guy:
Shouldn’t be
On American TV
Telling Americans how to do anything
Has no understanding of economics, America and her norms, or of anything but his socialist sick skull.
This Muslim motherf@cker can have half my inheritance. It’s only copper, lead, brass and a little gunpowder.. this bastard can have it in any combination he wants.
Ahmen to that brodda.
Just send this Marxist nutcase to Cuba, one way.
America is not a communist country — let him give his money to the government and help pay for its crimes against REAL Americans.
The radical left wants Marxism — LET THEM PAY FOR IT
that is truly Marxist... so they give half.. then there will be cry for 3/4...after all, they didn’t earn it. and the earning of ones personal income3 is zero sum game in these peoples eyes.. someone else having money, means they have stolen that money from you. Robespierre would be proud of Mr Z.
Fareed is a darling of the left and advisor to Obama. Obama read his book “The Post American World”.
If there’s one thing that shouldn’t stay in any tax reform, it is exemptions for state and local taxes. Otherwise, the more fiscally responsible and conservative states and populations will be forced to keep subsidizing the higher-tax, spendthrift states and populations.
That stupid idiot can take a long walk off a short pier. My other opinion would get me banned
How would someone named Fareed know what’s “American” and what isn’t?
Only Fareed and his Socialist friends would view death as a taxable event.
“It’s not enough to talk about what black folks ought to do,” Alexander once said. “We have to also look at what government is not doing to ensure fairness and equal opportunity. God is on the side of the least of these. Jesus said ‘the first shall become the last and the last shall become the first.’”
Oh, and same thing for mortgage deductions, too. Higher taxes in some states also ripple through in higher real estate values—and hence mortgage payments. Time to stop subsidizing that, too.
Farheed has already given half his brain away in advance.
Seriously, how soon until this guy takes Jay Carney’s job?
L Suppose these freaks have ANY idea how far away from the average American they actually are?
No, probably not. They live in this little 'fair' la-la land where everyone has exactly the same things as everyone else. In other words, a socialist/communist utopia that could never exist in reality.
What low-grade imbecilesidiotsmorons! What ultra-maroons!
Hey Zakaria, write that check you moron, talk is cheap. You came to America for the opportunity and chance to be on CNN and you are right there in that den of commies.
Let’s just abolish the federal government and let the States run the show.
