#1 I already know your opinion
#2 Obama is a Liberal Democrat so of course he approves of the estate tax and raising it more

gaelic cowboy: Although not at the levels being discussed here, the estate tax does actually affect lower earners. For example, my parents home was a gift through an inheritence, which they moved into after they sold their home. If they outright left the home to me in their will, I would be taxed on this home as it has already been gifted once. Of course, there are easy ways around this

Crazed Rabbit: Hmmm, yeah I see the 1%. So maybe it's a little further down the tier than I expected. For some reason I was under the impression it was below income but above capital gains, I'll keep looking. My argument still stands the same, though, in that past opportunities to kill this tax have been ignored due in large part to there not being an alternate source for the income
