Bernie Sanders loves America
And any Americans that truly love their country should love and support his efforts to make this a better place.
Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is sick of the super-rich avoiding estate taxes.We will now see the spectacle of all the Republicans and too many Democrats opposing this bill so their rich friends won't have their feelings hurt. Contact your Senator to support this most America friendly bill.
On Thursday, he made good on his word: he today introduced legislation to restore the estate tax on the wealthiest Americans, which he says would bring in at least $264 billion in the next ten years to help reduce the national debt.
“This legislation would ensure that the wealthiest Americans in our country, millionaires and billionaires, pay their fair share while exempting 99.7 percent of Americans from paying any estate tax whatsoever,” Sanders said in a release. “At a time when we have a record-breaking $13 trillion national debt and a growing gap between the very rich and everyone else, people who inherit multi-million and billion dollar estates must not be allowed to avoid paying their fair share in estate taxes."
