Short answer: no. (although, realistically my opinion has more to do with what he's actually saying than the "nuze" bit) |

| Miss Modular | Should I really take a guy who calls "news" "nuze" seriously? | |

But my ass was just getting thoroughly moisturized! Now it's in danger of chapping! Oh, well, I suppose I could always pull my pants up. |

Cheerleading keep you late or is your ego so big it's in a seperate time zone? In the sentence "Quite frankly, the only possible way you could support the death tax would be if you seek to aspire to some sort of egalitarian dream world. " One or more of the following words has to have been used incorrectly 1.) Frankly 2.) Only 3.) Possible 4.) You 5.)Seek 6.) Aspire 7.) Egalitarian 8.) Dream So many ways that sentence could be wrong, and no way for it to be right. Is it 'frankly'? That would be easy. If he meant he wasn't being frank at all, then the rest of the sentence might stand as some sort of nonsense or verbal spasm. If 'only' were used incorrectly as an exclusive term, and he only meant 'one possible way among many', he'd be fine. If by 'dream' he'd meant something possible... maybe that's it. After all, last night I dreamed I had lunch. And today I did. |

Quite frankly, the only possible way you could support the death tax would be if you seek to aspire to some sort of egalitarian dream world. The estate tax is not used to collect revenues. I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not, but the estate tax actually costs more to collect than it rakes in. The tax's real purpose is twofold - 1) to break-up large congregations of wealth and 2) insure charitable donations. I don't see the point in the first issue. I don't see why it should be an end in and of itself. It is, however, potentially harmful to the economy, as it could disrupt rather productive companies. The second issue could be solved by establishing such things as dollar-for-dollar tax credits. |

| mburbank | If you mean OAO, his school bus should be pulling up just about now. He still has to eat his oreos, drink his milk, and put on his thinkin' cap, though. Brace yourself. | |

| mburbank | Okay, call me Mr. Class Warfare if you want, but the top 0.2% of our society? I think they should get taxed every time they blink. Deserving, underserving, hardworking, criminal, whatever. I don't care how they got to the tippy top of the heap in the greediest country ever , it takes a whole lotta juice to keep a country this size running, and lord knows the top 0.2% got juice to spare. You want to hassle about what that money gets spent on, that's whole nother argument, but I'll tell you what. The bite taken out of my paycheck makes more of difference to my family than anything uncle same will EVER suck of our Richie Rich and Company, and I pony up willingly. If Oprah Winfrey and Donald Trump have to cut back on their spare yacht budget I think they'll somehow manage to soldier on. | |

| KevinTheOmnivore | Two thirds of all the revenue raised by the estate tax comes from the top 0.2% of our society. VERY few people have what this guy had happen to him. It's a sob story case that you use to argue with when you might not have enough numbers, ya know, like Al Gore and the elderly eating cat food....? | |

| AChimp | Just having piles of money does not make you wealthy. You can also be classified as wealthy if you're sitting on 127 acres of prime real estate, and to hell with what you "want" to do with it. | |

Wait a minute. Who clicked on the link, instead of just reading Zeb's regurgitation? OF ALL OF THE THINGS ON THAT PAGE, YOU CHOSE THIS? This is some INSIGNIFICANT BULLSHIT compared to the rest of the document. Where is your head, Vince? |

| mburbank | He had just enough strength to move his chubby fingers long enough to cut n' paste a Boortzdump. Sadly, it took all his energy and he was unable to empty his spitvalve after Boortz played him like the passive instrument he is. | |

ONLY THE EVIL, GREEDY RICH PAY THE "DEATH" TAX! http://boortz.com/nuze/index.html NOW .. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO OPPOSE A REPEAL OF THE DEATH TAX This obituary appeared on Saturday in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I'm going to reprint it in full because I know some of you won't follow the link ... and I want to make sure you read it. Read how a man with no running water ... a man who grows sweet potatoes and tomatoes and then sells them in the town square ... read how this man is suddenly hit with a half-million dollar death tax bill when his brother dies. Yeah ... only the evil, nasty, wretched rich pay death taxes, right? Quote:
