In the brothel that is also known as the US Congress, there comes a time when the "whores" need to pay off their "pimps".........
Republicans Push 269 Billion Handout For Millionaire Heirs And Heiresses
House Republicans this week will vote to hand the heirs and heiresses of America's largest fortunes a $269 billion tax break by repealing the federal inheritance tax.
The legislation would shield the very richest families from taxes on the fortunes they inherit. After years of GOP attacks on the inheritance tax, also known as the estate tax, only a few thousand of the wealthiest families are subjected to it -- 4,700 total in 2013, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation. Only individual fortunes worth over $5.43 million can be taxed under current law, an amount that doubles to $10.86 million for wealthy couples. The Republican proposal would eliminate all of these estates -- which are over 15,700 percent richer than the median American household -- from taxation.
Wow, wealth envy sure is an ugly thing.
The rich in this country are criminals that cheat the system every chance they get. The best you have is to call people envest for pointing it out?
