We need to re-name the "Death Tax", "The Paris Hilton Tax Cut"

Not that this was my idea (the guest pannelist on capitol gang last night mentioned it), but this is the sort of marketing that we need to do. The GOP has framed the issue so that people think that the government is going to take away grand-daddy's stuff that he left to his son, which is completely untrue. The estate tax is only applied to uber wealthy people who don't really pay anything in income tax because chances are they will never work a day in their lives. The Republicans are the ones who are SUPPORTING PEOPLE THAT DONT WORK. We need to take this issue and make the GOP turn on their own. We need to frame it so that they are paying people to sit on their asses and do nothing for the rest of their lives. "The Paris Hilton Tax Cut" is also a good name for it because she pretty much exemplifies everything that the right wing family values crowd hates. If we are going to win elections, we need to market ourselves better. We can't let them to continue to frame the issues, WE need to do it.

1. Death Tax = Billionaire Tax.

All the tax cuts taken in total = Birth Tax.

After all, who's job will it be to pay back the gigantic national debt?

Anyone have the figures...? I think its about $50k per American newborn.

"Partial birth abortion"
"Culture of life"
"War on terror"
"Generational challenge"
"Feminazi"


How about we call it the "Paris,Barbara & Jenna" tax cut?
