She owned an 80 acre farm. She was 93 and had taken steps to ensure her kids would be alright. We ended up having to pay $140,000 in estate/death taxes. Had she lived 8 more days, we wouldn't have had to pay any. We are 2 teachers and a skilled trade person. All of her investments went to pay this stupid tax, plus a some from each of us. MY point is that this is so absurd and unfair. Work all of your life and give it all away when you die. Makes no sense. There should be no estate/death tax at all. Do you think the really rich ever pay this? Not! My mother died on Dec 23, 2005. She owned an 80 acre farm. She was 93 and had taken steps to ensure her kids would be alright.

I agree that they do not care fro the American Peole, in exchange for their own self preservation. I believe that ids the Moral issue brought upin the video clip. I would encourage you in your efforts to elect good People to elected office, please test these people with the Constitution before lending support to any Candidate. I find myself looking to run for an office and the task is daunting to defeat any incumbent. I wish America the best of luck in 2010 elections, and urge everyone to gaurd your vote, please don't just go give it to a party affiliation. Vote for the Best Candidate,that supports the original intent of Founfing Documents. Pray for those Marines, Sailors, Solidiers, Airmen, And Coasties!!
