Beamer wrote on Oct 1, 2017, 09:51:This is a perfect explanation of one of our major problems. People simply believing what politicians say instead of spending a few minutes to find out if the politician is or isn't correct. It reminds me of the "death panel" nonsense the GOP rolled out when they were trying to keep the ACA from passing. And the worst thing about it, there is no easy solution. If you couldn't convince your father the estate tax is not a death tax on every American, what hope is there to educate the general populace on more complex issues?
My dad is one of those angry over the federal estate tax. I keep reminding him that it only applies to estates over $5.5M, and his is not there today and will certainly not be there ever, as he's already retired.
Doesn't matter, a month later the estate tax is still a chief concern of his, as he thinks the government will take his money after he dies. The state, sure, but he never votes based on state estate taxes...

Trumps the man. Tax reform baby!
What do you want reformed, what do you think will happen, and what evidence do you have that the changes will bring those impacts?
the money will trickle down of course, he can't wait to get his share from the trickle from the estate tax which will be no more for example

He is an incompetent idiot, misogynist, racist, misanthrope and I hate the fact he is my President.
That said, he gets in the way of the GOP nearly as much as he gets in the way of the Ds. He is, in fact, the lesser of the evils. And while it would be somewhat satisfying to see him impeached -- 1) he isn't going to be impeached as long as the GOP has control 2) as I have alluded to, it would only get worse if he is impeached and the GOP still controls both the House and the Senate.
