Corporations are not people and money is not speech. The Estate Tax is a tax on inherited wealth, not a tax on dead people. An embryo is not a person. Calling an acorn an oak tree does not make it an oak tree. We must stop the Right Wing War on Language that is designed to confuse and distract voters.
is on Republican terms. Americans don't remember how much higher taxes were on the wealthy before Reagan, senior citizens have forgotten that the Democrats are reponsible for Social Security and Medicare and federal regulations were instituted because of industrial pollution and banks' mistreatment of their customers. If voters had to pass a civics and history test before they could vote therv would be lot of voters ubale to vote.
