Warren Buffett is the one who said 5000...

metsfan is the one who said 50

I say 50-5000, it doesn't matter, its still family business being taken down by government and corporatism

why is it okay that someone is a victim because they are wealthier than you? Would you be as excited if their women were raped too? Disgusting mindset.

The colorful language is humorous, but inaccurate. The 50-5000 number is a bit ridiculous. There is 100 times difference between 50 estates affected and 5000. Imagine the daily commute to work is either 1 mile or 100 miles. That is the same difference that you stated with your number. There are no doubt some people are going to be affected, that is the purpose of having the tax. People with estates worth 11 million and up are taxed to a certain extent in the amount over 11 million or so(Assuming it is a married couple).

Nobody is being 'sacrificed' and i'm curious who the 'fascist liberals of god of corporatism' are. My impression is the tax money collected through the estate tax goes towards necessary services that benefit society in general. Certain unintended consequences should always be analyzed and laws modified to either close loopholes or create them.
