1. Silly. 2. What percentage of US estates will be affected by the passage of the estate tax? 3. It's clear that you want aristocracy and monarchy. If so, why not take yourself to some place like Saudi Arabia? 4. Why don't you think the rich should pay for the outsized gains they receive from the structure of society created by all? Bill Gates Sr. certainly thinks they should. Do you know more about the creation of wealth than Bill Gates Sr? How much wealth have your children created? 5. What has happened to the cost of going to college under the Bushies? 6. Why do you support corporate welfare? What percentage of taxes are corporations paying now? How does that relate to what corporations paid before? Why do you agree that corporations can receive all of the benefits of plying their trade in the US but can claim tax exemption by having a drop box overseas? 7. Is DISINCENT a word? 8. What has happened to the size and stability of the middle class under the Bushies? Understand the AMT? What was the top tax rate under Eisenhower? Did that 'DISINCENT' Americans? What is the relationship between tax rates for the ultrarich and economic growth and stability for all? 9. Define confiscatory in relationship to estate taxes. What is the confiscatory rate and, if changed, how does that affect wealth creation? 10. What is the level of overall level 'taxation' under the Bushies that includes energy costs both directly and through inflation of other consumer prices, increases in state and local taxes and fees, reduction in services, reduction in future investments and opportunity costs? 11. Why do you plead Paris Hilton's case while ignoring the 45% increase in national debt under the Bushies? Are you Paris Hilton? Are you Marie Antoinette? Are you secretly a Monarchist trying to get the Colony back under the rule of the dowdy woman with the hat? Are you secretly....gasp....British aristocracy or a wannabe? <giggling ensues>
