Death Tax? You Lying Pieces of Shit!

Friday, May 12, 2006

So I just saw a commercial talking about fighting the Death Tax, “Taxation without Respiration”, financed by a conservative group using the typical targets of conservative hype; Hillary Clinton and Edward Kennedy (and some third guy who I don’t remember.)

OMG they (the evul libruls, of course) are going to take away all your money when you DIE!

Listen you brain dead, greedy, blue-blooded aristocunts, It isn’t a fucking Death Tax! It’s a tax on inherited INCOME.

In this country you pay taxes on any money that you make, did you not learn this in grade school? This includes money that is given to you. You are not being taxed when you die, your no-good–sense-of-entitlement kids are being taxed on the money they are being GIVEN by your estate. Money which they haven’t worked a fucking minute for probably, but even if they have somehow earned it, then its no different than income tax. You are not being taxed twice, they area being taxed ONCE for the cash cow they are inheriting form your moldering corpse.

Why? Because in this country your expect to make something of yourself, that’s why. Not be handed a big fat wad of bills just because you were lucky enough to be born with the same last name as a President. You get taxed on money you make, whether you get it from a job or from lubing up our granduncle’s crank six months before he kicks the bucket so you get your name on the will.

The point of this shit is to slow down the process of wealth being concentrated among an increasingly small population through successive inheritance, by redistribution of the wealth. Why? Are you fucking brain dead? Because we have finite amount of money in the country, and if fewer people have more of it, that means there is less to be spread around among the rest of us who actually work for a goddamn living. Please don’t start me on the fucking pap-smear-brained idea of Trickledown Economics. We all know the money of rich people doesn’t trickle downhill, that’s reserved for their shit.

Oh and also, most of you shitheads who have been tricked into caring about this; the “Death Tax” (Okay, it’s called: “Inheritance Tax”, say it with me; “INHERITANCE TAX”) isn’t hitting your wallet worth a damn, because you don’t have any goddamn money worth taking, anyway. It’s the fat cats who paid for that commercial to scare you who are actually being asked to pay the money back into society, the society that got them rich in the first place. How about they fucking give something back for a fucking change, huh?

Of course if you paid any goddamn attention to anything other than your moronic reality TV shows, you would realize that since Reaganomics hit us in the 80’s the gap between the rich and EVERYONE else has increased exponentially. So, clearly, the rich can afford to part with some of their hard earned (isn’t that funny) cash.

The thing that gets me is that The Rich just don’t understand history. Listen smegma-heads, history has shown that you have two choices, you either;

1). Pay a substantial amount of your money back into the society that spawned you, so that the general populace can maintain at least a chance of having a middleclass lifestyle or

2). You keep hoarding your wealth, increasingly placing the burden of the cost of living on the rest of us, until the common folk rise up and fucking KILL YOU to take all of your shit.

The choice is yours, assholes, and frankly, it won't break my heart if you choose what’s behind door number two.
