Still more than among the normal population I assume, just because they happen to be born to those parents instead of others

In my view it is odd to be against the social safety net on the one hand and against the death tax on the other, as both provide people with a degree of material safety that recipients oftentimes did not work for accordingly.

Not quite sure what you mean, but if you are talking about rich kids getting rich more than others, a little more than half of those that are in the bottom 50% of the economic scale in America will be in the top 50% before they retire.

Actually, it's your money. The "weasel" in this picture is the government trying to take something from you that is rightfully yours.

Actually it's the law. Don't like it, try to help repeal it, otherwise as you stated those who are trying to get out of paying it are indeed the weasels.

If we wish to invest that money we already paid taxes on, we are taxed 35%.

Then when we die, that same earned income is going to be taxed another 55% before it is handed down in our estate.

And liberals wonder what the Tea Party is all about. This is just one example.

Is this somehow supposed to prove the truth of the lie in the original post?
