Does anyone know if when they repeal the Bush taxcuts for those

[napi21]

earning over $250,000, does that include reinstating the estate tax? I've read & heard lots of talk about repealing but no one ever mentions the estate tax.

1. Part of the extream right positions

is to try to make people think there is some discussion on something as obvious as letting tax cuts expire to keep people from discussing things like estate tax.


They get so extream to try and get the ending policy to still be right of center. It is a thought process of truth having no meaning. If you think truth means nothing, then any position has the same value as any other, so an extream position, and a rational one (more progressive) ends up with a center right outcome, if all positions are thought the same.

If you do not think and feel, and ask what is really the better ideas, and just balance two positions in the midpoint, then you get people acting way out on the extream to pull the middle.


They yell about removal of medicare and Social Security, so that when small cuts are purposed, it looks like somewhere in the middle, if you do not look and think and feel on the meaning of the positions then things like that happen.

2. That will likely be the "compromise" the Repubs will ask for...

and they will probably get it.

3. Well, I call BS on THAT! There's NO REASON why a few

rich and already spoiled brats should inherit HUGH amounts of $$ tax free just because they were accitentally born to a particular family!

4. Whatever does not become part of the bill

that will be discussed (and possibly voted on) in Congress will expire. I don't expect estate taxes to be part of the discussion, as the pre-Bush rates exempted estates of under a million dollars, and an unlimited amount if it went to a surviving spouse.
