“They have passed the big inheritance tax, and that gets you when you are gone. You used to could die and be able to beat taxes, but not now.

They have it on these big fortunes now where they pay as high as 60 to 70 percent of what they leave. That's mighty expensive dying when it runs into money like that, and you won't see 'em dropping off as casually as they have been.”

And then a little bit introduced me on the realities of the Western world on which I was not very well informed. But I didn't stop.”

“While big corporations make huge, tax-free profits, taxes for the everyday working person skyrocket. While politicians take free trips around the world, those same politicians cut back food stamps for the poor. While politicians increase their salaries, millions of people are being laid off.

We could get rid of most of the agencies, and most of the budget. The government would be small, frugal, and limited.”
