Hollingsworth Hound doesn’t want life to be fair.He just wants everyone else to be more miserable.

The estate tax currently exempts the first 5 million, not 1 million. And that assumes Hollingsworth didn’t set up a tax dodge like Romney.

No you didn’t a house you bought for 100k is now worth 200k – you didn’t pay any tax on the 100k difference. Anyway if I pay my handyman 100 bucks to fix my broken window – he has to pay tax on that 100 bucks even though I already did so why the diff?

There should absolutely be an inheritance tax. how else can we break up the family farms that are left and make sure corporations own ALL the farm land. Even though corporations are people now, they rarely die.

Actually, the non-partisan committee that reviewed the proposed tax reforms found that less than 50 small businesses and farms would be affected. Besides, taxes were higher on unearned income for that very reason-it’s considered profit.
