They are already using the term "success tax," and we are already using the term "Paris Hilton bailout" or words to that effect. On the whole, there is still low political support for killing even part of the tax cuts. mbs You would be fighting the kind of people who successfully branded the inheritance tax as a "death tax". If your tax on capital income sounds eminently reasonable,wait until they decide to call it a "success tax"? What really surprises me is that the working class appears to have no awareness of and certainly no answer to such tactics. Shouldn't the repeal of the estate tax be accurately called the Paris Hilton Trust Fund Donation Act? -raghu.
