the death tax affects 0.2% of all taxpayers. how is this a 'tsunami'?

and, given the fact that the wealthiest 1% have had a 500% increase
in income in the past 30 years, a 165% increase in taxes is something
they deserve. they screwed the economy. let them p ay for it.

but the right wing sheds its tears for the rich, ignoring completely
the plight of the middle class

Ok Bob - fair enough - that's your opinion - I respect that.

Explain this then. What represents more of a tax burden on income - a
5% raise from 10% to 15% at the lower end of the taxe base or a 4.9%
increase from 35% to 39.6%?

and this is not going to happen. not a single independent tax source
has ANY information that this is going to occur.

Heh - it has to if the previous administration's tax cuts -policies
and regulations are allowed to expire and according to both President
Obama, Secretary Geithner and Dodd/Frank/Reid/Pelosi they have no
intention of doing anything about it.

January 1st, 2011, I want you to come back here and and in big bold
letters in this thread and say I WAS WRONG!!

Fair enough? :)

But it still begs the question - assuming it does happen, is it fair?

Those with incomes over $250,000 should be paying 49% on every dollar
over $250,000.
