Here's Your Death Tax for You

I could never believe that the repeal of the Estate Tax actually passed. When you look at it this way, which does not require a great deal of imagination, it is obvious how ridiculous it is. Is there any other term that applies more aptly than GREED?

If the Estate Tax were to be repealed completely, the estimated savings to just one family -- the Walton family, the heirs to the Wal-Mart fortune -- would be about $32.7 billion dollars over the next ten years.

The proposed reductions to Medicaid over the same time frame? $28 billion.

'nuff said.
