So, therefore, after answering your question, you're going to try to get me to argue in favor of something that doesn't exist, won't exist, and that I don't want to exist.

Great tactic!

Just making a point that if Congress' ability to take money is in and of itself moral justification, then no further justification would be needed for taking any amount from anyone. Even from you.

Aw, now you've insulted the one person here who's ever defended you.

I don't need defending. I'm a big enough man that I can admit when I'm wrong and I'm not delusional enough to think I'm never wrong.

On top of that, he is implying he thinks the GOP is interested in cutting taxes for everyone, not just the wealthy.

I'm implying nothing, just fucking with senseamp. And if the tea party had their way (which for the record is just about the last thing I want) all tax brackets would be cut.

That's strange. Even when presented with mountains of evidence against what you have claimed at times I have yet to see you admit being wrong.
 
What a complete joke. The estate tax exemption is around $5.5 million dollars in 2015, and is indexed to inflation. 99% of the people who vote for republicans will never pay a dollar in estate tax. There is all the proof you need that republicans serve solely at the behest of the 1%. The problem for democrats is that they also serve the same 1% but the proof isnt so clearcut. They cant openly put forward bills like this. Instead they just have to keep spending money that gets funneled into primarily the 1% so that they can pay an estate tax and still come out ahead.

"Finally! Some relief!!"
 
You know, if the right were actually motivated by the "serious problem" faced by "family businesses," they could craft a narrowly-tailored bill focused on only the specific types of "family businesses" that the right thinks are being so unfairly hurt by the current estate tax system.

Instead, every other huge, non-"family-business" estate, to the tune of $269 billion in tax losses, was included in this bill. And I'd be willing to bet that if we did the math, we'd find that less than 1% of that $269 billion was actually going to those "family businesses" the right cares so deeply about.

And why did they want said representation? So they could get rid of the taxes! If the taxes hadn't been there the representation would never have become an issue. 😉

Pretty sure having to board British soldiers in colonial homes, being prevented from issuing a currency, and British gun/powder control factored in there somewhere too...

So Bill Gates earns several billion dollars by making products that people like me voluntarily purchase. When he dies, he decides where to pass along his huge fortune. He can choose to help people, pass it to his children, or set up a massive endowment to provide his cat with lifelong staff.

At what point and by what moral authority do I gain the right to seize his legally gained wealth for my own benefit?

At the point where it goes to somebody who didn't earn it. Bill won't miss it because he's dead. The notion that estate taxes harm him in some way is preposterous.
