Okay explain to my why cons attacking Obama on income inequality are not full of ****.

[Spamature]

If a person wins the lottery. If they rob a casino in an Ocean's 11 type heist. If they are walking down an alley way and find a bag full of money. That individual would owe the govt taxes on their new financial windfall .

Yet if a someone dies and wills a windfall of riches to someone. The Republicans believe this person should owe no taxes at all to the govt on said windfall .

How do you align what the Republicans say with what they do when it comes to income inequality in this country after seeing them pass legislation abolishing the estate tax ?

Or is this the same hypocrisy we've seen from them on a myriad of issues.

Taxes were paid on Estate for a life time..............

Hope that clears that up for you..................................

What kind of ridiculous thinking are you engaging in ? The person receiving the inheritance has not paid taxes on it. The person who owned it previously paid taxes. But has nothing to do with the new owner. Those taxes were not the taxes owed by the inheritor.

Family members receive an inheritance from a hard-working entrepreneurial benefactor- one who toiled long and hard and paid his/her dues, and taxes throughout their life. They missed time with family, employed people, served the public, and now that they've passed the government feels it's owed 40%?? For what!?
Let the family keep that business, their land, their farm, their employeese government can make do without a tax that equals 1/160th of the budget.
Obama deserves scorn for hamstringing the middle class and insuring less work hours and pay. He sold out to big corporate interests and didn't remove any of the tax shelter Dems love to complain about. Why shouldn't he take the vlame for what he's done to the American middle class?

Because the govt taxes income. The govt didn't win the lottery or find that suit case full of money. But they still expect you to pay taxes.

Instead of attacking the President on these issue defend the GOP. Show me where they've done anything except sell out to corporate interest and income inequality. You can't because their purpose in this world is to sell out average Americans for their benefactors.

Exactly, Dawg.
No need to say more.
But Spam won't get it. To him and Leftists, all money is up for their own greedy grabs.

It simply is not true. The "estate" hasn't paid a cent in taxes. In addition, neither you nor Dawg know how the estate grew. There may well be untaxed gains in there. Long held stocks, maturing bonds...and tax deferred accounts make such speculation unreasonable.

And of course, the tax doesn't come into play until millions of dollars are at stake. The idea that the inheritors will pay 40% is wrong. Over 99% pay nothing. That's zero percent.

If your father worked the family farm all of his life, made it grow and earned some money, his income would have been already taxed, probably repeatedly in various ways. Why should the government tax it AGAIN just because he died????

Because we tax transfers. It isn't death that is taxed...it's the transfer of assets. The money is no longer the original owner's.

It may never have been taxed. Hell...perhaps the farm made money with federal subsidies for corn...or milk.

So... the family farm might be worth a couple of million, but, as most family farms are, cash poor. So the answer is to tax the hell out of the kids who want to keep the farm going, they're forced to sell, and some big conglomerate snaps it up to grow their genetically modified crops on what used to be a family farm, feeding much of the neighborhood organically and wholesome, while employing locals. Then, y'all bitch about the big conglomerates taking advantage of illegal aliens by not paying them a 'living wage' and demanding that wage to be increased to $15/hour while providing these same illegal aliens with free healthcare, free housing, welfare benefits and food stamps.

Leftists are extremely stupid people with a mind boggling hatred of individual liberty and freedom.

A person should be able to leave everything he owns to his family without any tax consequence. It's just that simple. Anyone who thinks otherwise if full of s**t.
If someone leaves a fortune to his cat then I believe the cat should pay an inheritance tax on that. How much catnip does one cat need?

And why should it?

 

[Craig]

And why should it?

Why shouldn't it? Why should children, who didn't build the "estate", inherit it tax free? They do get 5 million tax free upon the transfer.

What has this to do with Obama's reign as president? Oh, that's right - it's yet another lefty accountability-dodging "get out of jail free" card for The One. Six and a half years in and the blistering excuse-making is still in full swing.

No one shirks like lefty.

Every time I get paid for work, it is money that has already been taxed to whoever is paying me.

Guess what, Dawg. They tax money every time it changes hands in this country. What you want is an exception only for those who don't work for it. They aren't taxing the dead guy. They're taxing the one who gets income from the inheritance....just like they tax income for everyone else.

Must suck to perpetually knee walk for the most privileged people in the country while you dutifully pay their taxes, cry poor for them and watch the country being run on debt while they multiply their fortunes under winger tax cuts.

1/2% of our citizens possess 50% of the country's wealth right now. Not good enough?

No one babbles about nothing like you, Rush.

 

[Lukey]

The reason I criticize him on it is that his disastrous economic policies are driving the endless Fed "stimulus" that keeps increasing large asset levels because there's no profit in opening new small businesses.

As for raising taxes - I'm all for it! As long as it is coupled with cutting regulation and restructuring entitlements to restrain the constant growth of government and make the economy safe for small business creation...you know, like how Clinton did it. Just raising taxes to pay for the continued Bushbama permanent Keynesianism? Ef that...

Resident dopehead troll chimes in with the loser input. Thanks, "achiever".

Anyhoo, once we get this particular mindless drone's obligatory soundbites over with ("Rush", "clowns", "wingerbaggers", a select VERY FEW other dimwitted sloganeering fluff) - we can once again focus on the fact of Obama's presiding over increasing income disparity...and lefty's constant excusing/blame-displacement.

The Obama record is poor. Lefty's record for apologetics and excuse-making is worse still. And the slobbering pothead Internet troll attempts to distract here are effective only on those likewise afflicted (by sloth/recreational drugs/general posture of loserhood).

But wouldn't that income have already been taxed? Why should the Gov't get to tax it again? It's the same money, isn't it?
