Heh heh heh...

I get a chuckle when they point to Bill Gates and Warren Buffet and
praise them fro supporting the death tax. What they don't understand
is that Gates and Buffet have their estates set up in trusts and will
have little or no death taxes taken out when they pass.

Yep.

To deflect attention from the corruption in New Orleans, they point to
the $2000 FEMA debit cards being used for frivolous things and try to
blame it all on FEMA.
