re:"" Buffet is against inheriting money- that alone would make the big boys against him. "" Here is a plan. Tax ALL inherited money at 100% and then put all that money to work on social and infrastructure projects in this country. But most (95%) people would be against it, especially the right wingnuts.. In one breath, they talk up rugged individualism, pull yourself up by your bootstraps type stuff and in the next they say the inheritance tax should be abolished, no MATTER how much is involved. Well they could put their money where their mouth is if EVERYONE coming down the chute came out with a EVEN start. Everybody starts out with just their birthday suit, not a 1K suit. Make that a 5K suit now.. :) Then we will see who REALLY makes it.. I bet that would weed out a bunch of now wealthy, ingrown dead wood.. I could name a bunch.. Sounds good to me.. Any other takers?
