The Senate's "Good Egg" on the Estate Tax
Julio 27, 2010
Well, we
can say that there is at least one good egg in the Senate. Bernie
Sanders called out the hypocrisy of the born again deficit hawks who – just nine years ago – were telling us that “deficits
don’t matter." Two wars, two huge sets of tax cuts and a spate of record
setting debt accumulation later, we are now in a hole that only leaders
as outspoken and honest as Sanders can get us out of.
His recently proposed Responsible Estate Tax Act would be a great way to raise much needed revenue in a way that would only affect multi-millionaires and billionaires. The so-called deficit hawks seem to have a problem with it.
