Just Say No…problem!

Death and taxes.

In related news, Daschle opens debate on the estate tax. Sounds like the plan is to raise the exemption so high that the GOP are forced to admit they’re backing the repeal solely for the benefit of their multimillionaire masters. Smart play, particularly in an election year.
