Why is it okay for the government to steal my family’s hard earned money when they die? Its not just their money…their land is included in the tax. If my parents die today, I will have to pay the government $500K just the keep the house….the house my dad designed and built himself. Its no mansion. But it is in an expensive area. And theres a lot of farm land. Why should the government get it?

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.
