THE ESTATE TAX IS GOOD EGALITARIAN POLICY

MSI,

Re: A few billionaires of good repute keep this up

He may not be a billionaire, but he manages the largest non-profit corporation in the world...... William Gates, Sr. has come out fighting for the continuation of the estate tax. He got essentially no air time at all in the corporate sleazoid media this week.

The House passed the legislation, it's up to the Senate to stop this folly of enabling the growth of a permanent parasitic aristocracy in America.

Re: someone may just start to ask whether it is from business that our civil distrust springs, or if it is a secretive, amoral deceptive political leadership that affects the entire landscape.

The answer is that it is both, they are two sides of the same coin, the klepto-plutocracy. The pols are beholden to the lobbyists for their future status. Thus the whole lot are self-dealing corruption of the social contract, and are terrorizing the rest of us with their amoral Greed Schemes.
