Death Tax, for or against?

[Pete Nice]

Everyone is right on here. Taxes as a whole are unfair and a joke. Welfare is a joke and the death tax is a joke.

This hits me b/c my dad turn 77 this year and my mom is 71, they are getting up there in age and will not be around forever. They also have a significant amount of money, money that they already paid their taxes on in a high tax bracket. When they pass, I am sure there will be a substantial amount of money left for me, most likely enough to set me up to be debt free until I retire myself, that is the way they are. There is NO WAY I should have to give over half of that to the government so that lazy people can pop out kids, collect free money to buy name brand clothes and get food stamps to spend on lobsters and T-bone steaks while I work an average of 70 hours a week to make ends meet and maintain a somewhat comfortable lifestyle.

On a positive note, I just heard tonight that there is a real good chance that Obama might extend the death tax for another few years in an attempt to win middle support and show people he cares during the recession since his bailouts didn't help in doing anything but making the rich richer.
