Wal-Mart Behind Estate Tax Repeal

If you haven't caught the news in the last year or two, the single biggest backer of the Bushies and GOP Congress weasels efforts to repeal the estate tax - something an overwhelming number of Americans disapprove of - has been largely bought and paid for by just one American family: the Waltons who own Wal-Mart.

Not only is this going to cost us big-time and drive us farther into debt and ensuring that, as has been happening, much more of the tax burden shifts to the middle class and poor, but this issue has also been couched in terrible lies that it hurts small businesses and family farms. A very small percentage of family farms have any potential whatsoever of being affected; the same is true with small businesses.

No, the Waltons are very good at taking YOUR money while trying to do everything within their power to avoid paying their fair share of taxes as well as making you, the taxpayer, foot the medical costs for its employees so the Waltons, already far wealthier than a few million of them could spend in a lifetime, can be richer still.

Think about this next time you visit the store of "falling prices": there's something far lower behind Wal-Mart than their price of toilet paper... their scruples and honor.
