Well, the working class often complain that the rich were born into wealth. So why not have more estate taxes on the dead? I mean people might not agree to it at first, but think about it. Firstly, it insures that people aren’t successful just because they were born into wealth. it injures that people continue to work hard. Secondly, there would be more money for under privileged people without taking money from people that earned it. Thirdly, it ensures that intelligent people are in power, avoiding dynasties of families that forget what working hard means. Lastly, it contributes to the idea that everyone must work hard in America to become successful.
So why will this never happen? Because people in power have a lot of money and don’t want all their money given away when they die. Maybe if we have honest people like Washington or Lincoln.

What’d be the point of working hard when he wants to tax until “income equalization”?

The tax holiday would be available to those with a net worth of over 100 million dollars.
Do you think his real-estate tax holiday proposal was intended to help his wife?
…since Cindy McCain failed to pay four years’ worth of real-estate taxes on one of her homes in California.
Her explanation was……….quoting from a news article “I guess it slipped my mind,” she said. “Quite frankly, I’ve been busy coming up with totally original recipes for my Web site.”
Do you believe her explanation?
McCain said “The key to this country’s economic well-being has been and will always be those Americans with vast inherited brewery wealth.”
Who really think tax breaks should be give to the wealthiest Americans? I surely don’t when I see the middle and lower class hurting like they are.
I only as questions i wasnt biased at all. I was just wondering why the very rich are given tax breaks and dont even need them. The questions I poised were those that I have heard. I have nothing against McCain I was just wondering what good could such a policy do. I was only backing up Cindy’s statement with her on words and the article came from yahoo news so go find it yourself.

John McCain, June 11, 2002:
“I am concerned that repeal of the estate tax would provide massive benefits solely to the wealthiest and highest-income taxpayers in the country. A Treasury Department study found that almost no estate tax has been paid by lower- and middle-income taxpayers. But taxes have been paid on the estates of people who were in the highest 20% of the income distribution at the time of their death. It found that 91% of all estate taxes are paid by the estates of people whose annual income exceeded $190,000 around the time of their death.”

John McCain today:
“The estate tax is one of the most unfair tax laws on the books”

People refer to it differently, which do you think it is, an Estate Tax, a Death Tax, a Family Farm Tax, or a White Tax?

My grandpa is a miser, and he has about three or four million saved up. My dad keeps saying that Obama’s estate tax will take away my inheritance when he passes away. The house my family lives in is also owned by him. Is what my dad said true? Please explain… Thanks.

Anyone know what his position on this is?
