leftwingers and other statists think the government actually has money rather than holding stuff it took from us

I tend to be concerned about people when it comes to those who are unfairly taxed rather than hiding behind state stuff that is pretty irrelevant.

All states work in a deficit, which means they all recieve federal funding.

Alabama is dead in the center. Don't consider that a bad thing, but not really a good thing either.

why, I pay hundreds of thousands and I get no more from the feds that anyone else and probably less than most of those who pay no income taxes

your dishonest claims gets old. I know what an estate tax is-its what many of us call a death tax

Here is a great line from the Von Mises Institute about the uber rich favoring the death tax

Warren Buffett, who is horrifying when it comes to assesing politics and freedom. Family heirs, he says, have already won an “ovarian lottery,” and thus should not be “rewarded” by the tax system. Mr. Buffett, however, doesn’t explain why the lack of theft is considered to be a “reward.” Perhaps it is because the status quo of rampant theft by the state is accepted as the norm, and any scaling back of such theft therefore is considered to be a “favor.” Of course, equating the transfer of private property to one’s heirs with “a lottery” denotes a complete lack of critical thinking skills. But then again, it’s easy to be in favor of estate redistribution when you’ve still got billions left over after the theft.

More about your BS #'s about how bad the rich have it

The top 400 households paid 16.6 percent of their income in federal individual income taxes in 2007, down from 30 percent in 1995. This decline works out to a tax cut of $46 million per filer in 2007, or a total of $18 billion in tax cuts for these households per year.

To make it into the top 400, a household needed an adjusted gross income of at least $35 million in 1992 (in 2007 dollars) and $139 million in 2007.

The decline in effective tax rates at the very top is due in large part to the capital gains tax cuts enacted in 1997 and 2003. The top marginal tax rate on capital gains is now 15 percent, less than half the top tax rate on wages and salaries. The top 400 taxpayers derived two-thirds of their income from capital gains and qualified dividends in 2007.
