Everything gets taxed in some way as money passes through the economic system. When we buy something, there is a sales tax. It is income to the manufacturer and the various intermediaries along the supply chain and they pay taxes. It becomes income to the salesperson who also pays taxes. And the cycle repeats itself over and over- it is known as the "economic engine". Why should the transfer of wealth from one rich person to another be exempt- less than 5% of intergenerational transfers are eligible for the tax. Why should the rich be exempt from this taxation. If we reduce the taxes on the rich, where does the make-up income come from?- the not-so-rich! Or it just adds to the huge Republican deficit machine (see Reagan/Bush1/Bush2).<BR/><BR/>I know the area of Doug's grandad's farm- Doug wishes it were worth $2.5 million and he could figure out the taxes if it were. He would be really lucky if it were worth $1 million.<BR/><BR/>Hilton is probabaly too dumb to know what Republicans and Democrats are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11250715.post-1151036957153066032006-06-23T00:29:00.000-04:002006-06-23T00:29:00.000-04:00i give you bonus points for finding a way to blame...i give you bonus points for finding a way to blame this entire thing on republicans.<BR/><BR/>lol.<BR/><BR/>Hilary would be so proud of you.Paul Westerdawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777898547036699281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11250715.post-1151036560362400052006-06-23T00:22:00.000-04:002006-06-23T00:22:00.000-04:00Ugh,...

The farm would have to be worth more than 2.5 mil to not pass under the unified credit(not the 2 mil you claim.) Even on the off chance it is worth more then Doug's Grandfather could easily avoid the tax altogether by placing the farm in a family trust, and any average tax lawyer could prepare the documentation for next to nothing. Most family farms today are lost due to low wholesale food prices paid to the farmers and long term high interest rates on equipment purchased in years past, not estate taxes. While Miss Hilton's politics are not known, at least not by me, she did in March 2006 fail to make a promised donation to an AIDS charity, which earned her a future ban from Elton John's post Oscar parties... going back on your word financially seems to be the going republican trend these days.

Second is that your grandpa's farm would probably not pass to your relatives without mortgaging it to pay the taxes. 2 Million dollars outside AP Hill isn't much considering thery can get $30 to 60k per acre to build houses. The single biggest reason family farms and small businesses don't pass to future generations is that the recipients have to mortgage or sell them to pay taxes. <BR/><BR/>Why do you think it is a good idea to tax assets that have already been taxed. Say I make $5M this year. I'll pay about $2m in taxes. I die and pass what's left to my daughter. Why does it make sense that she should pay $1.5M on what's left? Other than fuck rich, have you got another good reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
