Personally, anything I inherit I didn't work for so why should I be entitled to recieve it tax free.

My father worked hard to get what he got and I respect him for it. If anything, I would rather have a closer relationship to my father than the idea that I may inherit a lot upon his death. That won't make up for the yers we have fought and not been close.

I find it funny how people can argue that SS something people paid into, were promised, worked hard for and deserve is a government entitlement and they shouldn't get it, yet inheritence, something by virtue of what it is, has not been worked for by the individual (in 95% of the cases) and those people are entitled to every penny tax free.

The GOP sells the middle class a bill of dreams that only the very rich will ever capitalize on.

Like I said before, the government can have every freaking penny of my inheritence. What I work for and make on my own is more important to me. What I'll get won't bring me happiness.

Most of the kids I grew up with will have their inheritences spent before they get them on drugs, alcohol, cheap women, cars and things that are social statements. I can't see very many investing it into small companies to help employment and increase the tax base.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
