So if you die in 2010 then nothing is paid. In 2011 it's 46% less the 1M exemption. Bush came up with that nutty idea. I thought Obama said he was going to correct stuff like that? What happened? Didn't Obama say he was going to correct the Bush years? Looks like he's just piling it on worse.

Reuters Withdraws 'Backdoor Taxes To Hit Middle Class' Story AFTER WHITE HOUSE ASKS THEM TO! The lead story at DrudgeReport.com as of 11:30 a.m. this morning was "REUTERS: Backdoor taxes to hit middle class." But Reuters withdrew the article last night. Drudge noted the change and wrote: "REUTERS pulls tax story..." then added another link to the top left margin: "Largest-ever federal payroll to hit 2.15 million employees..." So what happened? According to a Reuters rep, it was withdrawn "due to significant errors of fact." "The story was wrong on multiple points and should not have gone out," she emailed us. A formal withdrawal will issued will address specific points that were incorrect later today. UPDATE: A White House offical told Talking Points Memo that administration aides appealed to Reuters to take it down. businessinsider.com
