Who would have thunk: "During a discussion of Republican Presidential candidates on ABC’s The View, which the comedian co-hosts, Ms. Goldberg said, “I’d like somebody to get rid of the death tax. That’s what I want. I don’t want to get taxed just because I died.” The studio audience started applauding, but she wasn’t done. “I just don't think it’s right,” she continued. “If I give something to my kid, I already paid the tax. Why should I have to pay it again because I died?” … When another co-host, Joy Behar, responded to Ms. Goldberg’s remarks by asserting, “Only people with a lot of money say that,” Ms. Goldberg shot back, “No, I don’t think so . . . It doesn’t matter if you have or don’t have money. Once you paid your taxes, it should be a done deal. You shouldn’t have to pay twice.”
And to that we say, amen!
