H.R. 4154, The Death Tax

Congressman Burton announces that he will be voting against the H.R. 4154 Bill to increase the death tax.  A statement from the Congressman below explains the perils of the proposed bill.  To read more please visit Kokomo Perspective's article "Burton To Vote Against Death Tax Increase."

"Next year, the death tax rate is supposed to be zero percent.  Zero.  Today, the Democrats are pushing a deceptive scheme that makes it sound like people are getting a deal, when in reality, they will increase the death tax by 45% in 2010.

"Additionally, H.R. 4154 would make the death tax permanent, and since its exemption will not be adjusted for inflation, more and more Americans will be roped into, what I consider to be, the most unfair and immoral tax imposed by this government..."

Once again as I think it sounds more like Lenin. From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs. We learned better when we tried this in 1620 at Plymouth Rock, and that's why out of 500 pilgrims, only 30 survived during one period. What a family member passes DOWN to his progeny, had ALREADY been taxed at least once, of not already over and over and over. To deny the passage of wealth from one generation to the next is to accept communism! It's too late to do anything about it without things getting REAL ugly, so I think like the boiling frog sits until he's dead since the water only goes up a degree at a time, so also have WE been dealt with by those we were STUPID enough to put in power, or without the backbone to out them legally, or, if they refused to go, find another way to get rid of them.

God bless you for bringing a measure sanity to the prosecution of our Navy Seal HEROES. I’m 66 years old and still can’t imagine how our great nation has sunk to such depths but it’s evident that political correctness his mistakenly gained a higher priority in our country than the service, sacrifice and honor of those who risk their lives to preserve our freedom. The three Seals are genuine American heroes and clearly deserving of our praise and gratitude. The MG supporting their prosecution should be forced to resign in disgrace or relived of his command and rank.
