I'm pretty liberal and I see nothing wrong with these comments. She's really ****ing ugly though.

Also, as much of an un-self-aware bitch this lady may be, why should anyone else have a right to her money after she dies?

I mean, it's pretty hypocritical to tell other people they're not working hard enough, when she simply won the birth lottery and was born into being the wealthiest woman alive.

wat?

taxes are due on gifts as well, and the exclusion is well lower than that for an estate tax.

Also, if rich people could easily avoid the estate tax, why did the GOP spend so much time trying to end it?

Again, "taking" money from people who did nothing to earn it seems like the most obvious tax ever. A+ to Republican rhetoric that people think this is somehow unfair compared to other taxes.

What's next? "Don't tax lottery winnings! That's stealing and you're just jelly!"

removing the estate tax completely is as bad an idea as the gov't taking 100% of someone's wealth after they die, imo

There's nothing wrong with the estate tax.

Repubs are really really stupid about this.

Lots of intellectuals ITT. I'm sure you've put lots of thought into why people should be taxed 100% when they die.

People, people, her parents worked hard so that she never had to and could tell poor people to work harder.

Would you begrudge Cam for negotiating another $20 MM so that his grandchildren could live comfortably without having to work?

Well, I worked at the post office if that counts. Never was officially hired as a federal employee, I think, was considered 'outside contractor' or something for various union reasons iirc.
