"Why can Willard give his kids $100 mil tax-free, while I can give my kids only $13K?" because you are lazy due to your pot use. if you had worked harder in your life you could have left your kids 100 mil-tax free. you think your kids hate you because you can't ?

True. Do you think Romney was behind these particular manipulations of the tax code, or just using them, which is perfectly legal?

Cuz people with money buy legislators who write the laws. and you want to give the government more power over our lives so that more rich people can buy legislators who write laws that favor rich people. that's the part that baffles me about progressives. Conservatives want to reduce the power the government has over our lives and we are the bad guys? Do you honestly believe that giving more power to the government is a good thing just because they (ostensibly) believe in the same things that you do? More power means more corruption. This is true regardless of which end of the political spectrum we are talking about.
