2. It's what he said at the opening of the current "press conference"
and he was frighteningly vague as well- we can only guess at what those 'ideas' may be...I'm guessing that one of them has to do with abolishing the estate tax- it's something they've longed to do.

3. Right now its at what $600,000 or more?
Of course Bush and the whoring media never bring up that little IRS fact. They want you to believe that if Granny leaves you a couple of thousand then the G-men will be right there to collect their share.

Truth is at 600K very,very few estates are subject to one dime of tax. I think the rate for the family farm (that Repigs LOVE to bring up) is around a million,and there are no taxes if its handed down and continues as a farm.

Again Repigs don't want anyone to know that,they like to convince weepy eyed people in their speeches that the government seizes farms every five minutes or so for back taxes. AFAIK,not ONE farm has ever been seized or taken away for estate tax reasons.
