Repealing estate tax = helping and loving the poor

There was a cloture vote on a permanent complete repeal of the estate tax.  It failed 57-41. Baucus, Lincoln, and both Nelsons voted AYE.  2 Democrats were absent.

Roll call vote should be here, but it mysteriously disappeared.

Can someone explain to me how Ben Nelson is a Democrat?

Yeah, that is a little f-ed up.  The estate tax brings in a few hundred million in revenue.  Wonder where they're gonna get it from.

Why is Ben Nelson a Democrat?  Is he becoming a Zell Miller?

It brings in more than that. There are 18 wealthy families pushing hard to permanently repeal it. Those 18 families alone stand to save $72 billion.
And seeing other people make money and you not justifies stealing their money to give to you.  Aren't you honorable.

It helps the poor by helping the rest of society.

And I simply see no reason that society (including YOU) should take MY STUFF that belongs to MY FAMILY after I die.

Tyranny by the majority/government.  No wonder you don't want your own citizens to protect their own property.
