Fred, did you read what I wrote and the article about farms? NO ONE has ever lost a farm due to the estate tax. NO ONE in the article lost a farm due to the estate tax.

These FEW accounts are probably people who did not work hard enoough.

Fred, you are constantly saying all people need to succeed is to work hard. It is pretty obvious those FEW examples are people who did not work hard enough because that is all you need to become rich, right Fred?

Again, NO ONE has lost a farm due to the estate tax. I stand by my statement.

The CBO came out with a report that if tax cuts are kept permanent, especially for the wealthiest Americans, it would cost long-term financial disaster for the United States.

Jim, Americans pay the lowest rate of taxes now since 1950. How is that paying too much?

ALL social welfare programs, not just what we call welfare, are about 1% of the federal budget. Cutting ALL federal social welfare programs would do practically nothing in terms of saving tax money and would instead institute much higher social costs. Penny wise, pound foolish.
