Is GOP using the hurricane to promote the repeal of the inheritance tax?

RNC chair Ken Mehlman literally just sent out a mass email urging the elimination of, as he called it, "the death tax." Gee, just a coincidence that in the middle of the one of the greatest disasters in American history the head of the Republican party is focusing on a partisan political agenda dealing with tax cuts?

Here's an idea, Ken. If you're concerned about people paying a tax when they die then call your president and tell him to stop dicking around and do something about the people dying all across the south while you lobby for tax cuts

1. I got a letter from Santorum on Wednesday pushing for more tax cuts

including the "death tax." They are sociopaths.

2. Just a little advance planning...

... it's on the Senate agenda in early September, not long after Congress returns.

They're much better at planning this sort of thing than planning for disasters....

With the stock market and the economy likely to take a hit, they're going to want to start funneling money into it ASAP.
