OT - a rational, fair republican voice?
BTW, Jon, I am going to assume that your estate is worth *more* than a
million bucks. If it is and you must die, do it before Jan 1, 2011
(and no, I am not wishing you dead like some folks on this forum have
wished me). As of Jan 1, I believe the estate tax will go from 0 to
55% with up to the first million being untaxed. If you are worth,
let's say 2 mill, your survivors will pay $550k on you estate. Your
survivors owe the U.S. Government NOTHING, a tax such as what Obama has
in store for us is onerous.
