Reply #43: My proposal isn't going to happen anyway [View All]

And I would prefer no changes to the estate tax, just as you would, but the fact is that they are going to happen. The right wing has done an excellent job of making people who aren't rich believe that they will have to pay the "death tax" while the left has done absolutely nothing to counter it. I've interned in a congresscritter's office, and you would not believe the amount of calls that I've answered from constituents asking to vote to repeal the "death tax". One was even from a woman who told me that she was living in a FEMA trailer.
