The "Death Tax" Repeal: House Votes Again...
I Support the Estate Tax...
The House is making another attempt to repeal the estate tax, that most of us don't pay (and contrary to the rhetoric, most family farmers don't pay)....When I was on the Hill I never heard a convincing argument (other than lowering taxes is generally good) to repeal this tax. Regardless, there are better taxes to repeal for the cost...like capitol gains, etc. So, I'm firmly opposed to eliminating the estate tax...Why?
Two words...Paris Hilton.
