sorry to do this. but i strongly disagree. it greatly hurts agricultural (farmers) families. it also disincents anyone to work hard, becuase so much is taken away at the end.
granted, the rich will get richer. but that will happen no matter what. it will also prevent the current middle class from acquiring the wealth they need to make the leap to being rich. -----Original Message----- From: Lester Kenyatta Spence [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 10:25 AM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: [313] don't make estate tax permanent (OT) sometime soon, the senate is going to vote on whether to make the repeal of the estate tax permanent. this tax, paid only by the wealthiest of the wealthy upon inheritance, if repealed permanently would further increase the gap between the wealthy and the rest of us. i don't usually ask people on the various lists i participate in to call their senators, but i feel very strongly about this. if you have a bit of time to call or email your senators, and you believe the estate tax should NOT be repealed permanently, please contact your senator: http://www.senate.gov/contacting/index_by_state.cfm If you want information about the estate tax (albeit from my viewpoint) check out: http://www.responsiblewealth.org/action_alerts/index.html please feel free to forward. peace lks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
