so it is clearly not the "Death Tax" and people who are not as rich as Paris Hilton will realize that there is no way that they will be subject to it.

3. if they pass it it will be the Birth Tax, it will create a $90,000 debt
for every baby born to poor or middle class parents the moment they take their first breath.. and the interest on the loan is compounded..

6. I call it the Dick Cheney Inheritance Act.
Paris Hilton is a frivolous twit, and my eyes glaze over at the sound of her name.

Nobody gives a shit whether Paris Hilton lives or dies.

They might care that Dick Cheney is getting a $100 million dollar tax break.
