What Happened To The Estate Tax Repeal?

Question by Tommy | Posted in United States

I remember that the house passed a full repeal of the estate tax, and that the senate was 3 votes short. They watered it down to a repeal up to a limit but then the zizz was taxed at the capital gains rate or something like that, along with a miniumum wage hike, and it still failed by 3 votes.

By Trying To Repeal The Estate Tax, Is GW Bush Looking Out For America's Best Interests?

Question by YouTube | Posted in Law & Ethics

or do well-deserved the top 2% "ultra-rich" get to avoid paying the tax thus reducing govt gain by over a trillion dollars? what is the motive behind this?

Answer: Is GW looking out for anyone who isn't in the more elevated classes best interest?

He has done exactly what any Republican would do, make it easier on the rich and harder on the exhausted. Their theory is that the money will 'trickle down' to us, eventually helping the economy more than if it were controlled by the sway.
