Doesn't it just make you want to cry?

Question

Those greedy Democrats want to keep taxing people's hard-earned inheritance money above just $2 million!
Horrors!
How, pray tell, are folks supposed to manage to keep up the country-club memberships and tuition at private boarding schools and fuel for the yacht?
Educated common people are just SO mean!

Did you know that SEVEN of the 15 richest Americans (i.e. those worth over $10 billion) actually made their money all by themselves themselves with little family investment at all?
Did you know if you add only the poorest 41 percent of Americans together, they actually have MORE wealth combined than Bill Gates?
And did you know it takes only the poorest 91 percent of Americans to have MORE combined wealth than the richest one percent?
What on earth are these socialists complaining about anyway?

Cretins! Barbarians!

Answer 2

Yes, less money for millionaires is extremely heartbreaking. What’s even more heartbreaking is that the Republicans attach another tax break for the rich to a much needed minimum wage increase.

There are three reasons the Republicans keep giving treats to the rich. 1. The Republican Party is still practicing “trickle down” economics which has failed over and over again. 2. By offering tax breaks to the rich, Republicans hope to increase desperately needed campaign funding. 3. Not if, but when the Republicans lose their grip on power, their millionaire bank accounts will keep growing.

The reason for attaching this tax cut to a minimum wage bill is so when the Democrats kill the bill, the Republicans can whine, “Look what those Democrats are doing to poor people.” In reality the Republicans don’t want this increase. The money for the additional wages would have to come out of those million dollar bank accounts. By attaching a tax cut for the wealthy to the minimum wage bill, they’re manipulating the system to kill the bill.

Republicans don’t give Americans enough credit to think we can see through their games, but at this moment more than 65% of Americans aren't buying what they're selling.

Answer 3

Hey, if the Dems had their way, those poor Walton kids (from Walmart) or Gates' kids (Bill Gates) or Buffett kids (both Warren and Jimmy) would have to pay taxes on part of their inheritance. But wait, all of these people (the senior family members) are in favor of inheritance taxes. It's corporate CEO and the like that are opposed to taxes. If their companies don't pay taxes, neither should they. Let's just keep spending money we don't have. Maybe a magic money fairy will come down the chimney and wipe out our debt.

Answer 4

Well its like this.....

My dad...worked all his life to build his business so that he would have a legacy to leave to his kids....When he died.....the inheritance tax was almost 56% of the estates value...and that didnt include the value of the home my mom is still living in.

We had to sell the business...to raise the money to pay the tax.
The business could have provided for the family for years and years...and now its gone....when are those "educated" people in washington going to understand...that its not "THEIR" money and families they are fooling with?

A friend of mine....had to sell the family homestead...to pay the inheritance tax when his mother and father were killed suddenly in a car accident. The insurance on their lives...wasnt enough to cover the "immediate" and gross higher valuation for taxes that was assigned to the home by the IRS. Another family legacy down the drain.

Answer 5

We keep up our country club membership,ect, with our trust funds set up years ago by our wealthy parents. You do have trusts funds don't you? If not, I don't know how you survive, what with working and having to mingle with the commoners.
As far as fuel for my yacht, I have my own source: my daddy's oil company!

Why don't you gather all of your golf club toting buddies and sign a petition. It may help.

Good luck.

Answer 8

I agree! those greedy bastards want to help give poor kids just as much opportunity as the rich kids! F-ers! Why should rich white people have to sit idly by and watch everyone have it so damn good? Man those bleeding heart, do-gooder, educated humaitarians suck.
