This is for people filling a joint return. That will end under Clinton the money you saved what ever it is will be going to support Obama care.

more muslims disagree with terrorism than republicans do racism

Does anybody recall another election that was like this? Meaning, people aren't getting behind one candidate but rather standing against the other one?

I'm waiting for the dueling bumper stickers/buttons that read "Not Hillary" or "Not Trump".

Because of the nature of this election, candidates don't even have to sell themselves or their plans.

Why most normal Americans give two fucks about Estate Taxation, I have no idea.

No, there hasn't been an a "voting against the other guy" presidential campaign that I'm aware of going back to McKinley.

I think there are "Never Hillary/Never Trump" stickers out there. I might even get one.



Estate taxes are a big deal for family owned farms, which America needs. Most people aren't aware of how small independent farmers are hurt by estate taxes. The land with farm buildings and equipment may be overvalued, but it's not something that there's a big demand to buy. So the estate tax forces the beneficiaries to come up with a ton of money to keep the farm. It's not a win by shutting down farms.

According to a Congressional Research Service report in 2013, less than 1 percent of farm operator estates is projected to pay any estate tax.

And that’s because there are exemptions for farmers and small businesses written into the estate tax code that allow most farmers — with a bit of estate planning — to avoid the estate tax altogether. For example, if the heirs agree to farm the land for another 10 years, they can get up to a $1 million exemption by valuing land at its farm use value rather than development value. An additional $500,000 exemption is possible if one agrees to a perpetual conservation easement restricting the use of the land. It is also possible to reduce the value of an estate by giving portions of the estate to heirs as a gift over a number of years. For a full description of exemptions available to farmers, see this Congressional Research Service report, starting on page 2.

"Family farmers..."

Lol. I see this is a Paul Ryan talking point, not surprising. Does Paul Ryan give a fuck about farmers when he wants to destroy Social Security? What a prick.

In addition there are a number of ways built in to to help 'family farmers' (and BTW if you and your spouse are sitting on a farm worth in excess of $10 mil, good for you for being so well off. You're in the storied 1%).

There is an exemption that gives them a reduction of up to a million to bridge the gap between the value of their property at the "current use value" versus the "highest and best use value." Heirs also get 15 years to pay that 'family farm' estate tax off.


But most of the statistical evidence says that the vast majority of farms bequeathed to relatives don’t pay any estate taxes. Even fewer are in a position where they can’t pay the liability.



Ain't No Family Farms Lost Due to the Estate Tax

When I have time I'll double-check those Left-wing sources. I've found bias and errors in both the New York Times and Factcheck.org, so I don't take them at face value. No one should.

lol. Facts are now "left wing".

There is bias everywhere. The NYT often gets criticism from the left. See: Manufacturing Consent.

But more importantly, if you read your own link, you would have seen the Estate Tax farmer issue is overblown.

Until then, I will be waiting patiently for your analysis.

No. Facts are facts. Stupid comments like yours are left wing.

"anti-establishment" Trump is now sucking up to the GOP establishment in a desperate attempt to save his campaign. Hillary's ahead in Georgia now. Yes, Georgia. A state that's redder than the devil himself.

But of course, polls are just "left wing sources", right Undertaker?

I think a Trump endorsement may be a kiss of death. In San Diego County, Congressman Darrell Issa, a hardcore pro-Trump guy, is down in the polls and has good chance of losing. GOP Arizona senator Jeff Flake said Trump is in danger of losing his state. In Utah, Trump lost to Cruz in the primary and now an ex-CIA operative turned congressman is running against Trump as an independent. He needs Ohio, but John Kasich won't endorse. Senator Susan Collins of Maine won't vote for him. Trump burned all his bridges. He claims to be anti-establishment but has almost all establishment Republicans on his staff, while many Tea Party conservatives formed the #NeverTrump movement. I expect Trump to have the biggest loss since Walter Mondale, who only won one state.

great observation faithful, cant disagree, you have done your homework, I certainly hope you are right about trump only taking one state, it might take that to dissolve the republican party.

No, but low IQ trolls may qualify.

I don't think having a one-party state is a good idea either. A banana republic superpower, that's simply too much power for one side. The concept behind our Constitution is checks and balances, not unbridled power.

Oh, shut up. Every time you're getting your ass kicked you call the person a troll.
