  • I just heard Obama say something to the effect that the most important job of a president is to present a budget. How come he hasn't had one for 6 years?

    Well now he tells us we need to give him all the money he wants so he can increase spending and it will be paid for by closing those loopholes common keeps telling us about.

    Tax and spend.

    I do! But being a responsible person I hold a reserve to take care of my wife and myself should we live a long life and not be a burden on my children or society. Additionally there is a limit that one can gift to any person without the government taxing it.... are you aware of that?

    But as is normal, you do not answer the question asked. I will rephrase it for you.

    Who should have the first claim on my remaining assets when I die, my children or the government?

    -- Posted by Have Wheels Will Travel - ΑΩ on Mon, Feb 2, 2015, at 12:23 PM
  • Yes, there is a limit, but it is yearly. Several years ago, it was 12,000 a year per family member. So you could give to son, then the same amount to daughter in law etc.

    You should prepay your funeral expenses of course, so that $ is already spent and in the manner you wish it to be.

    Your money then should go into probate. I am sure you know all of this, so what is bothering you? Are you concerned about an estate tax? Have you discussed this with your financial planner?

  • Reasoning,

    I have two daughters who are CPA's and a Grandson graduating in May with a year of graduate work under his belt and with his eye on taking the CPA test this Spring. I probably know as much or more than you do about Estate Planning, which I did 15 years ago. And have had to update to stay in step with changing laws and rules.

    The problem is the rules can change in a heartbeat and that is why we have to fight tooth and toenail to keep the Leftists out of the majority that can do so.

    And with all of your beating around the bush, you still refuse to answer the question honestly. One or two words would answer the question.

    To answer your next post... my estate is not going to probate. Unless of course the rules change quicker than my attorney can react.

  • If someone paid $1,000 for a farm during the '30s and it's worth $100,000 today, taxing that difference is taxing inflation. Although the farm has most likely improved it is not a 100 times more valuable and the difference shouldn't be looked upon as unearned income when left to heirs.

    I fear you are correct. The sad part is the Leftists posters on here all appear to agree with them. Reasoning did not have the courage to admit on here what he/she feels, so refuses to answer a simple question.

    The Leftists will not be satisfied until we are all equally poor and dependent upon government. Then the few elitists can live high while the rest kneel at their feet and beg. A perfect Communistic end to today's growing Socialism.

  • I was following some of the breakdowns of the president's budget. In one presentation the explainer said that Secretary Kerry acknowledges the most important investment is in his people's resources giving them the tools to respond to America's crisis' around the world and providing the basic needs for freedom and welfare of suppressed people. [not a quote, just the gist of it] Anyway each investment is millions and billions.

    Why is the America worker responsible for the whole world?

    Reasoning,

    If you are not afraid of admitting anything then why not answer the question. There was nothing hypothetical about the question, read it again.

    Quit trying to deflect, nowhere did I say the money was going with me, I would simply like to know who you think should have the first claim to my estate, my children or the government. A simple enough real life question that we all face if we are not living on the largesse of the taxpayers.

    Scared of, nothing except that another loser like Obama comes along and wants to change the rules of the game. Like the new change Obama wants on setting the cost basis of inherited property.

    -- Posted by Have Wheels Will Travel - ΑΩ on Mon, Feb 2, 2015, at 9:21 PM
  • Wheels, You seem to be the only one so far to acknowledge the subject of the thread. In my opinion it is a natural right of riches to be passed down without interference. Several references in the Old Testament concur.

    We don't have a large estate to pass on but our grave plots and headstone are paid for and in place. If the lawyer is correct, what we have will pass on untaxed. The idea is not to make your children wealthy with one's passing but convey what is rightfully theirs.

    I won't be there but as long as I am here I must object to the idea of grave robbing.

    -- Posted by Old John on Mon, Feb 2, 2015, at 9:44 PM
  • "If the lawyer is correct, what we have will pass on untaxed."

    Old John,

    Or..... unless the government decides to change the rules again in the middle of the game. The way they are spending money, they are desperate to get their hands on it, no matter who gets screwed over.

    I think you and I are on the same page on this. Inheritance taxes are nothing but legalized robbery. It does not matter if a man/woman has $100.00 or $100,000,000.00. He/she has worked for it and paid the taxes on it and what is in the estate when the man/woman passes on, should belong to his/her heirs or whomsoever he/she wants to leave it to.

  • Wheels, you are scared of what is going to happen to your money after you die? I am making a judgement here and I know it, but you are worrying about the wrong thing. You should (opinion) worry about where you are going after you die.

    Wheels and Old John, the Pharisees were trying to trap Jesus into blaspheming, and asked if it was lawful for Jews to pay taxes to Rome. Jesus held up the coin and asked whose picture was on it, when the Pharisees replied that it was Caesar's picture, Jesus told them to give to Caesar that which was his (taxes) and give to God what belonged to Him. (soul)

    Reason: If you would just read the post from Wheels with an open mind you would realize that the money left to the family has all ready been taxed as it was made over and over doing the years. Inheritance to the love ones should be free and clear to them unless you are leaving the money to the US Treasury.

    I love liberal "religion"... so little, so wrong. So what are we to do? Take all our $5 bills and lay them on Lincoln's tomb? Take all our $1 bills and lay them on Washington's grave? To "give to Lincoln that which was his" because it is Lincoln's picture? I like how you added your human "taxes" and "soul" into that scripture reading of the word of God. Any other words you like to interpret or add in the bible?

    =====

    Here are some unmodified bible quotes for liberals:

    "The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied."

    "For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat."

    "A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich."

    "But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."

    =====

    Chew on those scriptures as you push welfare onto others.

    No Reasoning, you have it all wrong as usual. I am worried about the government stealing from my children and grandchildren. I care about their well being when it comes to dealing with a crooked government.

    I get it though.... in answering my question you were concerned about "blaspheming" against your God, the government. Fear not, Caesar has his taxes on what I have earned.

    So I will make a judgement about you, as you have made one about me.... you believe that the government has first claim on the estate of a deceased person. Good luck, when the government no longer needs lackeys like you to carry their water for them.

I watched that the other evening when that Obama appointee was being questioned about what the government strategy was on the release of those 5 Radical Islamic criminals for one American Deserter. The interviewer tried and tried, but she could never get an answer out of him.

  • BonScott

    Another equally as stupid statement by Obama during his State of the Union Address and some thoughts on it. Sent to me by a friend.

    "President Obama's State of the Union address on January 20, he claimed that "The shadow of crisis has passed, and the State of the Union is strong." (Yes it has passed, we are now out of the shadow and in the dark)

    Oh really! Here are a few facts by which we can measure his tenure as president:

    Annual Gross Domestic Product growth has been about 2 percent per year, which is less than half of the economy's capacity for growth.

    The lowest labor participation rate in decades, which means a real unemployment rate of more than 10 percent instead of the widely reported 5.6 percent.

    Americans who have joined the food stamp program since 2009: 13 million

    Americans who have fallen into poverty since 2009: 5.5 million

    Decline in median household income since Obama became president: $2,484

    Number of Americans who will no longer have employer-sponsored health insurance thanks to ObamaCare: 7 Million

    Increase in family health premiums under Obama: $4,154

    The United States of America has no foreign policy strategy."

    I would like to add.... we are in near total darkness. Very little of substance is release to us by this so called government of "transparency".

    The people I feel sorry for are the ones that have worked the farm all their life and when Dad and Mom pass they will have to sell it and find a job because there is no way to borrow the money to pay the taxes and keep the land.

    Reasoning saying it should go to probate has to be a joke. For what little I have I put it in a trust and will pass to the kids untaxed. What they do after that will be up the current tax laws at that time. I do think some liberal is going to find a way to end that.

    Wonder If Buffett will leave all his assets to the gov. Of course it will be a drop in the bucket.

    Liberals remind me of a bucket of crabs. When a single crab is put into a bucket they will escape. But when more than one are in the bucket and one crab starts to pull himself out the others will grab the crab and drag them back down to share the same fate of the rest of them.

  • Then there's the republican point of view...

    "With the coming of the Spanish-American War, once again Congress enacted a graduated estate tax, this time topping out at 15 percent, subject to proper exemptions, of course. It died with the passing of armed conflict, just as earlier estate-tax legislation had done.

    "But in 1906 Republican President Theodore Roosevelt proposed to Congress that a permanent--and peacetime--"death" tax be instituted, as well as a progressive income tax. "The man of great wealth owes a peculiar obligation to the State," he wrote, "because he derives special advantages from the mere existence of government"--not the least of which is "the protection the State gives him." Since the republic's creation the national government had soaked the poor on a regular basis through price-boosting tariffs and excise taxes, and it was about time aristocrats anted up. Compared to today's Republicans, it would seem our 26th president had "peculiar" ideas about advantaged individuals' obligations to others."

    Common,

    A couple of things, one man's opinion does not necessarily make right or might.

    Inheritance taxes are not a new thing. See the following. But the fact that they can be traced to Augustus Caesar still does not make them right. And they did not collect at the rate they do today 55% down from just under 90% some time back.

    Warren Buffet talks big talk about taxing the rich more, but he doesn't walk the walk. Read just recently where one of his companies is in a tax battle with the IRS over excise taxes, and are demanding money be returned that has been paid over past years.

    Anyone who thinks the government should collect 55% of someone's estate just because it has exceeded what government determines to be a righteous amount for the heirs to keep is a thief at heart.

  • Common sounds to be in favor of Obama's plan to strengthen the middle class and help the poor by wealth redistribution.

    Democrats want to tax corporate profits earned over seas. Obama now offers some business a $3000 incentive via ACA to hire an illegal immigrant that his program fast tracks past those legal immigrants that have paid the fees to get their spouses in years later.

    Obama wants all this money approved to rebuild the infrastructure and create renewable energy and strengthen the middle class and give the poor a chance. We've been there done that, what happened to all the money last time. A few big democrats got rich with defective solar panel scams, a few democrat unions bolstered their pensions at the expense of a lot of suppler jobs lost.

    Obama wants a blank check for homeland security as he is diverting money from there now to hire thousands and spending millions on facilities to house and convert illegal immigrants into democrats.

    And by raising corporate taxes we will see the American corporations go completely overseas as fast as he brings in more illegals to take what jobs are left. Mexico is laughing all the to the bank with the gobs of money we just gave them to defend their southern border.

    Yep, ole common is of conservative leanings alright as he hopes we forget how he earlier so staunchly defended every word and action of this president that defies his oath to harm this nation surely not by his ignorance but twisted intent.

  • "...strengthen the middle class..."

    As opposed to the republican/conservative "plan" to weaken the middle class and harm the poor?

    The republican/conservative plan has to bring "profits" back, so why are they objecting now?

    "...illegal immigrant that his program fast tracks past those legal immigrants..." is a fabrication?

    "...approved to rebuild the infrastructure..." Why do you think that infrastructure does not need to be rebuilt?

    "...create renewable energy..." Is it not dumb to give all the energy jobs to China?

    "...wants a blank check for homeland security..." No, DHS needs to be funded as in every other year.

    "...convert illegal immigrants into democrats." That's pure BS. There is no "path to citizenship" in existence.

    "...corporations go completely overseas as fast as he brings in more illegals to take what jobs are left." More pure BS.

    "...the venom he displayed as he belittled all Conservatives as having faulty logic,..."

    Venom? How so? All I did was point out clear and sobvious lapses in logic by the conservatives on SO, not all.

    "....when he parroted every word and promise of Obama as the best idea since sliced bread." Perhaps you can identify when that was.

    "...wants us to believe he has always had conservative leanings."

    Actually, what you "believe" is of no concern to me. As mentioned numerous times, smaller government is supposedly a conservative goal and I "lean" that way. If you want lager government and higher taxes, that your choice.

    As for "Inform U on Tue, Feb 3, 2015, at 8:32 PM" to "Will Travel - ÁÙ on Tue, Feb 3, 2015, at 10:01 PM" ...

  • Wheels, Another thing the dems are against is a twice before passed house law that says before a federal agency can declare an unfunded mandate they have to entertain thoughts and suggestions from those it affects. Democrats are against anything that hold in check the power of the executive to rule by decree.

    The founders knew presidents would need to delegate some authority to fulfill the oath to uphold the laws and rules of the legislative branch. There is no provision in the constitution for the president to make laws via agencies he created.

    As common tried to blame the republican party for all things progressive, he overlooked the basic truth that it is the duty of the president to see that laws are enforced and this president has ignored that duty to the point of a degree of treason, not to say he is the first. Previous presidents not held accountable does not set precedent of legality.

  • I think some people are so invested in their politicians and government they feel if you are upset with the government and if you don't like the presidents policies you simply can't be happy in life because, after all, the government is your life.

    I can't stand the presidents policies of tax more and spend more. I can't stand his lies. I can't stand the $18 TRILLION in debt. I can't stand liberals for one reason - they are attempting to control our lives by taking our income and giving it to their lazy voter base.

    Having said that, I'm extremely happy. I am pretty successful. I have a great family and endless friends and am really the luckiest person in the world - and that's about the way I feel 99% of the time.

    Until I come on here and see people trying to ruin the country I was raised in and taught to love and, most of all, trying to destroy that country for my children and grandchildren. For the sake of power.

    And that "liberal" tag belongs to many weak-kneed republicans as well...

  • Rick - you have a definition for liberal and I do and they're different. In the news today and in the culture today Obama is a liberal.

    Sure-the colonies/patriots may have been "liberal" back 250 years ago and sure that term could have meant different things. But I don't live then - I live now. And in today's world the politics of the left/far-left are considered "liberals" and the politics of the right/far-right are considered "conservative". Here's a definition from the Webster dictionary:

    "liberal - adjective lib·er·al \ˈli-b(ə-)rəl\ : believing that government should be active in supporting social and political change : relating to or supporting political liberalism"

    I have nothing running down my chin and don't appreciate your comment. If you want to redefine the word liberal have at it. But it doesn't make it fact, only an opinion.

    -- Posted by not_sorry on Thu, Feb 5, 2015, at 10:03 AM
  • Daily Wheels... you prove you have not a smidgeon of hope about anything. It is a constant diatribe of doom and gloom. I remember how upset you were the first time President Obama was elected into office. Yet...you are still here, apparently healthy and wealthy. Is it not time to shake the doomsday attitude and let happiness prevail?

    Now, have a good day!

    -- Posted by Theorist on Thu, Feb 5, 2015, at 6:37 AM

    Now where would I start with this wish for a good day?

    Theorist, Sweetie, my distrust for this empty suit of a President started way before he was elected the first time. As I have stated before, when I first heard him speak at the 2004 Democratic Convention I actually thought the Democrats had found a new shining star, in 2007 I finally realized, I had been duped and he was all blow and no go. I have seen nothing since 2007 that has changed my mind.

    So far as my comment last night, it was what I felt towards the possibility that this new Republican Senate would actually approve such a far left Communistic thinker like Loretta Lynch to the office of Attorney General that there is little hope of their getting this country back on track.

    The Ship of State is adrift, look at our foreign policy. ISIS runs amuck and Obama releases some more hot air and goes back to golf. Look at the way he handled the news that an American was beheaded. A few minutes of hot air and he was off to the golf course.

    Since you made the assumption that my health and wealth is intact, I am happy to report to you that my health is fine, blood pressure low this morning with no pills. Now my "wealth", such as it is is another matter, the money I have and every other American has in the bank is cheapened by every dollar the Federal Reserve prints, which is at a record during this administration. For those of us who are retired, even if we are still earning, that is a big concern, we do not have the element of time on our side to recoup those losses. Inflation is my worry. What happens if we live longer that our savings does?

    So you go ahead and wish me a good day any time you feel the urge. Oh, and the same to you.

    WEALTH ENVY/GREEDY CORPORATIONS: "Its the pharmaceutical companies robbing the sick. Some day karma will prevail." -- Posted by Reasoning on Thu, Feb 5, 2015, at 5:56 AM

    YOU LOVE OBAMACARE: "I totally support ACA. Totally." -- Posted by Reasoning on Thu, Feb 5, 2015, at 11:39 AM

    ====

    Your words. You've supported Obamacare on here repeatedly and even now you blame greedy corporations. Obamacare was supposed to fix all that. You bought Obama's lie hook, line and sinker.

    Can't stand it when your wrong so you lie. And whine.

  • You two libs are hilarious. You used the EXACT same line of BS on here to tell us why Obamacare should be passed - to "get those greedy insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies". You played that "greedy" wealth-envy card to death. And you bought Obama's lies hook, line sinker. And told the rest of us we were wrong.

    Liar! Liar pants on fire... Oh the horror. Heck, you even capitalized BonScotts initials!

    See how childish you look? Anyone can do this. You admitted you "totally" support Obamacare. Then yesterday you started attacking greedy pharmaceutical companies as the problem with prescription costs. You've admitted all of this.

    So here you are, after pushing Obamacare, telling us that the problem with the costs of drugs isn't related to Obamacare it's greedy corporations that "rob the sick". Obamacare was supposed to those greedy insurance, hospitals and pharma companies out and reduce our costs.

    Is this what you're reduced to? Splitting hairs to get personal? Weak Reasoning. Very weak.

    And I directly addressed my comments to you and wrcactus. Two libs pushing Obamacare and still blaming greedy corporations.
