It's supposed to be impact neutral to family budgets. - (Another Scott) - (33) - April 3, 2009, 10:43:36 AM EDT

Yep...and the government has never lied to you, have they? - (beepster) - (31) - April 3, 2009, 10:46:37 AM EDT

So you oppose this. What do you support? -NT - (drook) - (30) - April 3, 2009, 10:48:35 AM EDT

what is this recently BS? - (boxley) - (15) - April 3, 2009, 03:17:05 PM EDT

The inheritance tax doesn't do that - (drook) - (14) - April 3, 2009, 03:32:32 PM EDT

so the state only seizes 45% difference in degree only - (boxley) - (13) - April 3, 2009, 03:38:56 PM EDT

So 0.5% would *also* difference in degree only? - (drook) - (12) - April 3, 2009, 04:24:01 PM EDT

so one only rents money from the state? - (boxley) - (11) - April 3, 2009, 05:35:42 PM EDT

Don't be intentionally dense. It's unbecoming. - (Another Scott) - (4) - April 4, 2009, 09:20:18 AM EDT

I have heard the term death tax since I was a kid - (boxley) - (3) - April 4, 2009, 02:24:55 PM EDT

You're still asking me - (beepster) - (2) - April 3, 2009, 10:54:09 AM EDT

No, I'm asking you to TAKE a position - (drook) - (1) - April 3, 2009, 12:53:11 PM EDT

Stated above - (beepster) - April 3, 2009, 02:50:47 PM EDT

Drucker is only applicable to commodities - (drook) - April 9, 2009, 01:53:10 AM EDT

It would suggest that that 40% ... making *20%* of the gross - (Ashton) - April 2, 2009, 08:14:10 PM EDT

"Absolute" - well that's a risky bet. - (Another Scott) - (2) - April 2, 2009, 09:03:39 PM EDT
