Re: The Deathly (Hallow) of Taxes
‘Puter is always right – yes, it’s been a while since we’ve thrown that phrase about. But let me supplement his post with one other aspect of the democrats’ argument for the Estate Tax – they will attempt to claim that eliminating (or reducing…or “re-imposing”) the Estate Tax does nothing for/against jobs and job creation.
We can take this argument in one of two ways:
A. True, but apply that in both directions. As ‘Puter so eloquently stated, the monies garnered from the Estate Tax won’t create new jobs, it just goes towards feeding the big government’s appetite.
B. False, the monies that the inheriting people gain will be put into the economy in one of four ways: spending (good for the private sector businesses), covering their taxes on income or purchases (money to the goverment), investing (again, good for either the private sector through stocks, mutual funds, etc. or the government through T-bills, etc.) or to charity (good for those less fortunate).
Again, this goes to further illustrate that the democrats really don’t understand economics.
GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
