The house will vote thursday to make marriage tax relief permanent. Democrats will attempt to raise taxes on married couples. Please tape this debate and force your liberal friends to watch it. Let them see who is really for the working men and women in this country.

Don't believe me? Go to www.senate.gov and check out today's votes. Captain McQueeg/McLame hung it out to dry...he wants your estate tax to go back UP in 9 years.

"Being fiscally responsible" will be attractive to voters, she said.

Being fiscally responsible using money that isn't yours, won't be.

[Cato the Censor]

Another mugging of taxpayers by the Democratic street gang and a few traitorous Reepubbers.

[mrsmith]

Sigh, I really wish that was the actual headline.

[Huck]

One option, which got 38 votes, would have made the tax repeal permanent for all but the largest estates — those over $3.5 million for individuals and $7 million for couples.

So the Republicans will "compromise" and vote for that disgusting porkfest called the Farm bill, but they won't compromise and vote for this? They'll "compromise" and deliver teeny-tiny little marginal rate reductions, but they won't pass a repeal of the death tax unless it includes estates over 7 million for couples? Seems a bit extreme. I like Phil Gramm, but maybe the Democrats aren't the only ones looking for a fig leaf. Compromise on CFR, compromise on education, but for some reason, no compromise on this? What about all those small businessmen the GOP was saying they wanted to protect. My uncle's business ain't worth 7 mil.

[Lower55]

Why don't the democrats just push a law to take it all.

If they can justify taking half of a dead man's wealth, they could justify taking it all.

[pankot]

Didja ever stop to think these clowns are beginning to look like the Roman Senate of Caligula?

[rdb3]

Methinks that Tiny Tom just made a huge boo-boo. He'd been better off putting off any vote on it than he was to do so while election season is gearing up.

We'll hear about this again.

[muawiyah]

The cold, hard fact is the Dems want all those rich-people bucks to be given to left-leaning foundations. Letting the children inherit any of it would be contrary to the Dem ambition.

[AnnaZ]

Democrats produced figures showing the repeal would cost the government more than $750 billion in the decade that begins in 2011...

 

Comments like this make me want to hurl. Cost the government? Cost them? How?!!! By not robbing dead people? What if these people don't die? Will they kill them just to make ends meet?!

 

(((fume!)))

[parsifal]

Oh this isn't an outrage. Do you really want Ted Kennedy to leave a super-fortune to several new generations of Kennedy brats? They'll do enough harm with regular size fortunes. The estate tax hurts the very rich, mostly. Little sympathy from me. parsy.
