So let me get this straight....


Higher income and more expensive houses, toys, ect means that you are smarter than people who have less income, ect???????


This ridiculous attitude is rampant with the baby boomer generation and is a clear indicator itself of intelligence (lack of) IMO....


Turn off the Dallas re-runs
Stop watching Dynasty re-runs
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous with Robin Leach got cancelled.


Rich doesn't = smart....


Never has, never will....


The generations after the Baby Boomers starting with most of Generation X do not buy in to this crap for the most part because we have critical thinking skills.


There are literally countless examples of stupid wealthy people in our everyday lives...just as many as the poor people....


The are MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF STUPID.

I can build a million dollar house top to bottom but I guess I'm an idiot because I like Trump.
What makes you think that non-supporters of Trump are liberal? There are a lot of conservatives who cannot stand the guy either.

Donald Trump is the most liberal Republican nominee in my lifetime and I am 58.

Taxing people for dying. Talk about adding insult to injury.

Once again, people will believe anything, no matter out far fetched, when it appears to validate their perceptions.
The OP is rich, therefore he is too intelligent to have made such a mistake, therefore you are wrong.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Democrats had forced them at gunpoint to pretend they weren't being serious.

Estate tax law exempts the first $5M which means 90% of inheritances are not taxed.

Trump is trying to protect his wealth. I have no sympathy for his cause or his billionaire buddies.

I am in favor of estate tax paying for health care and education. So everyone advances on their own merit and motivation. Not who they are born to or if they can avoid getting sick or family getting sick.

if you want to call it theft fine. I call fighting an estate tax fighting for a new monarchy or oligarchy.

Estate tax exemptions for a couple is $10.9 million and $5.43 million for singles.

You probably won't have to worry about an inheritance(estate) tax. Trump likely has configured his estate where there will be zero inheritance tax due just like he doesn't pay any income tax each year.
