Obama needs to debunk the death tax thing.
Edited on Thu Sep-04-08 02:45 AM by barack the house
Tonight Palin braought up the death tax. This, no joke intended, Obama should really put to rest there is no such thing as a death tax it's just more of the same old misleading washington games America can't afford.

It's something Hartmann always highlights we shouldn't buy their language it's inheritance tax. Who wanna tax death ? Nope. But it is perfectly reasonable to tax inheritance, anything passed on is a gift in itself all the same, than to be expected. It's their language we really must address.

2. Warren Buffett agrees with Obama.
You would think that the richest man in the world, who stands to pay one of the largest inheritance taxes in history, would be against it. Nope. Says Buffett to the Senate Finance Commitee holding hearing on whether to repeal the estate tax, "I think we need to ... take a little more out of the hides of guys like me,"
