Dont forget capital gains tax cuts, whereby an idle rich heir with dividend producing stock can drift through life tax-free, while the average working stiff gets 35% taken out of his paycheck before he even sees it.

One thing that I find illustrative of how stupid the American electorate is, is that according to polls they find the inheritance tax EVEN MORE objectionable than the income tax. policyandtaxationgroup.com This, despite the fact that the "death tax" only affects 2% of Americans! The right wing representatives of the ultra wealthy have most Americans thinking that the "death tax" will take the money THEY will leave to their kids! Morons. My idea of America is a place where each child gets his own. What BETTER people to tax than DEAD ULTRA RICH PEOPLE? Do we really NEED more Paris Hiltons?
