Where is the incentive to succeed in this country? why make any net worth over 1 million? you are leaving 50% to the folks who have been collecting taxs on you your whole life..after you die..you pay taxs to die? thats just wrong

The achievers, the employers, the succeders, must, must be punished for their contributions to society. How am I doing Mr. President?

OK…so you are saying if you are going to make a law that affects only 2% of the population, it is OK…am I correct? If so, maybe we should make a law that says anyone in the bottom 2% of income should not be allowed to vote…after all, it only effects 2% of the population….

“But they’re dead”…. and you still want to tax them…. I guess if they are in Chicago, at least they would be able to vote!

Yes, absolutely tax them when they die… we need to pay off the massive debt America incurred during their lifetimes.

White House 2 is a multi-partisan network of 10540 citizens imagining how the White House might work if it was run completely democratically by thousands of people over the internet. It's free and all U.S. citizens can join.

We're setting priorities, collaborating on policy, and creating a massive database of 2867 talking points covering all sides of every important issue facing our country. Watch the video intro.

Getting involved is easy and fun. Just join and start setting your priorities, like a todo list. The more people who endorse a priority, the higher it rises in the charts. The more people who join the network, the more clout we will have with the President and the media.
