lots of hot air in this thread, but no one can answer my question?

 

The centerpiece of the plan, described by administration officials on the condition of anonymity ahead of the president’s speech, would eliminate what Mr. Obama’s advisers call the “trust-fund loophole,” a provision governing inherited assets that shields hundreds of billions of dollars from taxation each year. The plan would also increase the top capital-gains tax rate, to 28 percent from 23.8 percent, for couples with incomes above $500,000 annually.

closing that "loophole" would result in a ridiculously high tax burden... let's say a guy dies with $100 million in stock that he paid $5 million for. so the estate pays $45 million and the heirs pay another $35 million in income taxes (federal and state) because they would now get no step-up in basis.

 

hmmm... $80 million in taxes on $100 million of inheritance sure seems fair! but the common man says YEAH LET'S CLOSE THIS LOOPHOLE

Top 1% of taxpayers pay 38% of Federal taxes. Top 5% pays 59%. Not enough says the socialist deadbeat faction of the TGF gambling community.

 

This is the genius of the Republican party. They have dipshits like this who vote against their own economic interest, and do the bidding of corporations and millionaire/ billionaires.
