I'm a billionaire (not really but work with me here).
Don't keep the estate tax on my ill-gotten gains. I know I'm only a billionaire because I was a better thief than anyone else. Sure, I caused wholesale misery day after day, lied, cheated, stole, tricked innocent little old ladies out of their life savings, defrauded my customers and suppliers alike to accumulate all that money Money MONEY. Sure, the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for the rich that the Rethugs put in benefited me greatly and jacked up the deficit. Sure, us rich SOBs didn't create a single job for Americans with all that free cash our employees (the congress) gave to us. Sure, our greed is insatiable and we will destroy the economy again and again in the pursuit of it. Sure, I would have no problem killing you with a soft plastic spoon if it would get more money for me (ps, that would be VERY painful and would take forever but you mean less to me than an ant). Sure, I saved a few thousand dollars by dumping toxic chemicals into the water supply instead of proper disposal -- and I don't even care that a million children will get cancer or have health problems because of it.
Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to lie to you again. I'm going to tell you that the estate tax will keep us rich fkers from creating jobs. Are you stupid enough to believe that after 8 years of tax cuts for the rich didn't create a single job? Quite the opposite, in fact, us rich fkers' greed actually caused the loss of over 8 million jobs just in the last two years. But I'll get the word out to our brown nosing toadies (the Republicans plus Ben Nelson) to just keep telling that lie over and over again. After all, it worked for Adolph Hitler. Hitler's Big Lie is alive and well in the Republican Party.
