Ron Paul: KILL THE DEATH TAX!

[THEBIRD]

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – While many members of Congress have wavered on the issue, Ron Paul has always stood firm in advocating the permanent repeal of the unpopular death tax on estates and multi-generational gifts.


In support of repealing the death tax, Dr. Paul stated:
“It is troubling to me that this country is chasing away wealth, while entitlements recklessly grow. The power to tax is the power to destroy, and we are making strides towards destroying prosperity but expanding the welfare state. This is a dangerous and untenable trend.”

Dr. Paul’s insistence on ending the death tax would benefit states with large agricultural sectors such as Iowa. In many cases, family farms are reluctantly sold after an owner’s death, because family heirs were unable to pay large estate taxes. The burden has led to the destruction of family farms and business across the United States.

“The death tax is an unfair and unconstitutional form of double taxation,” stated Ron Paul 2008 campaign chairman Kent Snyder. “The incomes of Americans are already unfairly taxed throughout their working lives. Dr. Paul has an unmatched record of opposing taxes on hard-working Americans, and ending the death tax is no exception.”

I thought is was illegal to enforce a tax on a tax? All those dollars that once were income were taxed once, why do it again?

Paul does have it mostly right on the tax situation. As does Fred.

Why should anyone support an unpatriotic conservative like Ron Paul, when they could support a REAL PATRIOTIC conservative like Fred Thompson? Fred Thompson is right on every conservative issue where Ron Paul is right, but Fred Thompson is right on every conservative issue where Ron Paul is wrong.

Yeah. so did Bush but we saw how that worked out didn't we???
Paul has said he will veto every budget that congress pushes forward until the repeal is passed into law.

Has Thompson said that? No, because he is giving lip service like Bush did so Conservatives like me would vote for him.

I'M NOT FALLING FOR IT AGAIN!

I thought is was illegal to enforce a tax on a tax? All those dollars that once were income were taxed once, why do it again?Not all of those dollars were taxed once. That was the original intent of this tax, to tax what had not been taxed before. For instance, the gains in most of my investment accounts have never been taxed. Unfortunately this tax has evolved to the point where some dollars are taxed twice, and where estates have to be liquidated in order to pay the tax. That needs to be stopped. This has been discussed here before.

Controlling more money and relinquishing control of it. Which one appeals to the majority of the members of Congress?

Which is less likely to happen in a Dem-controlled Congress?

As you well know, Ron Paul will never get the chance to veto anything because, as you also well know, he hasn't a snowball's chance in Hell of getting the nomination, much less, the presidency.

Why waste your time an money supporting an unpatriotic pseudo-conservative when you can get a patriotic REAL conservative in Fred Thompson who DOES have a chance to get the nomination and the presidency?

Ron Paul is the best where taxes are the issue. But that is not the most important thing we must deal with. We cannot ignore the reality of the world.
