Thank God for Rex Tillerson. It's refreshing to read that at least one corporate executive has courage to stand up to the global warming zealots.
As for the Rockefeller heirs, it's becoming apparent to me that inheritance of huge fortunes could be a major risk to our nation's economy. I never thought I'd feel this way, but maybe there is merit after all to very high estate taxes.
John, when I first landed in Jackson, Wyoming it was a right-wing ranching community.
Now, twenty-five years later, it's been overtaken with people with huge inheritances and even larger trust funds. With that comes mega-guilt and liberalism.
Today, Jackson will go for the most liberal candidate as the conservative elements move to Kansas.
Still, I am not for high inheritance taxes, as it forces the break up of family businesses and often the accumulation of those assets to foreign interests.
Go ahead,John, we can wish, but the super-libs I know there are almost beyond hope, sad to say....perhaps one day they'll fall victim to compassion fatigue is all I can say.
I'm a southern Christian conservative with a degree in civil & environmental engineering and a passion for the truth of God's Word, writing, hiking, investing, fly fishing, cooking and the great outdoors. My favorite tech invention = spellcheck. There are no such things as rights without responsibility, a free lunch, cheap grace, man-made climate change, successful government engineering, or figuring out when life begins. We're hurling towards the abyss with only One Life-Line: it's not botox, a "living" Constitution, celebrity president, or making nice with our dark enemies.. Meanwhile, God gave us His Word, His Son, Grace Upon Grace, family/friends and the greatest country in the world to live--if we can keep it .Comments are closed but you can email me at: webutante07 at gmail dot com.

Last Stanzas of America the Beautiful
O beautiful for pilgrim feet, Whose stern, impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness, And every gain divine!

There are no easy answers.
You're right, of course. Enough heirs do maintain the family businesses - and even expand them - that high estate taxes would do more harm than good.
Perhaps we could accomplish more by funding subliminal messaging directed at reprogramming their guilt. It's worth a shot.
