When you sell a used car it is taxed a second time, and if you sell it again, then it is taxed again.

Obama's inheritance tax is a bit more than McCain's only after you hit the 3.5 million or higher mark.

If your relative dies, and you receive more than 3.5 million in inheritance, try not to cry too much - you will be okay.

Judging by BFT3K's response, apparently so.
