So many dumfks here. Nobody is calling for a 55% estate tax. Not Obama and not your beloved Repugs. Obama wants a $3,500,000 exemption and 45% tax rate. I suppose it's nice to see so many of you, for being such idiots, stand to inherit over $3.5 mil. I'm sure whatever share you are left with you'll squander it. If you are really worried about the tax becoming 55% then maybe you need to apply some pressure to your beloved tea party.
