especially the elimination of the inheritance tax. Slams working people by eliminating the 15% bracket and upping it to 25%. Encourages a permanent, inheritable moneyed aristocracy.

No, no, no, no, no.

We pay high state income tax, property tax and have medical deductions most years. But then, we're solidly middle class and live in a blue state. Nobody in power in Washington gives a damn about us.

A relative who makes a million a year would do very well under this proposal.
