    Come visit us in MA sometime, everyone votes democratic. Often there isnt even a republican challenger at the local/state level offices.

    Op the article dosent clarify if the donations are made from estates or not. I'd rather not go digging but I do recall hearing somewhere in political conversation (In MA ) that estates can be set up to make donations well into future after the benefactors death.
    There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.

    If the dead really were voting and funding campaigns, they'd all vote Republican. After all, its the Republicans that want to repeal the death-tax.

    All kidding aside, this is a tax-artifact and has to do with how funds are disbursed out of an estate to continue political gift-giving. Like somebody else said, my biggest surprise was that it wasn't more.

    you sound like a "lifey". from the dead's perspective, larouche is the only reasonable choice.
    now i'm here, and history is vindicated.
