Months later, she again voted no on a bill that would make increases to the estate tax exemption and reduction in the estate tax rate enacted as part of the Bush tax cuts permanent.<br /><br />2007- Clinton voted to restore a top rate of 39.6% on those taxpayers with taxable income in excess of $1,000,000.<br /><br />2007-2008: voted against raising the exemption amount to $5 million.cicerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12472612909567425204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-90496335094277894082015-07-04T18:00:16.740-04:002015-07-04T18:00:16.740-04:00@ 4:08

David Brooks is only mildly annoying unless he's trying to do satire, at which he is utterly hopeless. What he reminds us here, and I do think it relates to our struggles in finding a sound place in our heritage for the Confederacy, is that Lee was both and good and bad man. That he was wonderful in some ways, but that he did some terrible things. <br /><br /> Is this really a tough one? Can we not grasp that as the case with many historical figures? Of course we can. Yet Bob, in his weirdo fixation on defending southern atrocities, once again gets very, sort of, well I don't know what about Brooks making these obvious points. And of course, what Brooks says about Lincoln is true as well! Something most people can take away from studying the Civil War in High School!
