    Maybe you have stumbled onto a new cottage industry; how big is your basement?

    I don't think this will be a common thing but I do think it will happen and it won't be just a one time thing.

    Two days ago I read online about an 80 year woman that kept her dead siblings in her house because she could not even afford her medicine let alone the cost of a funeral (times 3).

    This sad but it is a reality.

    As I get older, I do think about all the expenses and how I am going to take care of all that. I am trying to take care of myself and family but it isn't as easy as all those trying to market it.

    It's hard to save any money for emergencies (water heater, car repair, etc...) let alone put money toward death.

    So yes, I think this will happen as a direct cause of Obama's death tax.

    No, they will simply do, in larger numbers, what people with half a clue have done all along. They will put their assets into a heritable trust, making no difference whatsoever in their income or day-to-day use of their money, and protecting their kids' inheritance from taxation of this kind. May we assume from your question that you are not among those of us with at least half a clue?

    Unless a person is murdered, their body more than likely will not be hidden. People have respect for the living and the dead. Every dead person deserves a name and place in a Cemetary or wherever the family wishes to have them laid to rest.

    There has been a death tax since before Obama was in diapers and you have to be filthy rich before it will have any affect on you.

    Doubtful, since that will make it difficult to collect any inheritance without reporting the death of one's relatives.

    I find it funny how consistently conservatives suggest solutions that are even worse than the problems they try to address.

    You're obviously out of touch with reality.
