I would vote against him too if my folks were worth more than $7m. The identity of the president isn't worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to me ... maybe worth a few hundred bucks.

>>The 45% tax rate the Obama campaign is talking about is barely an improvement over the pre-Bush rate of 55%, and it could even be worse if state levies end up being incremental to the federal take in some states. This alone is a reason to not vote for Obama as far as I’m concerned.<< Dew - I congratulate you if your estate will be large enough to be affected by changes in the Estate Tax rate. I also applaud your dedication to your offspring. Don't forget that Obama is also talking about a 7 million dollar per couple cutoff point. Approximately 0.3% of estates amount to that much, so 99.7% of estates would not be taxed at all. Is that really a reason not to vote for him? - Allen
