Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling Lucky Ducky's Fun Page Lucky Ducky: Gotcha! The Impoverished Duck Who's Rich In Luck Is At It Again! Have fun with these games, but remember -- LUCKY DUCKY ALWAYS WINS! BRAIN TEASER A tornado narrowly misses Hollingsworth Hound and his mansion, but destroys Lucky Ducky's trailer home, killing him. WHICH ONE IS LUCKY? Answer: Lucky Ducky, of course! Lucky Ducky is POOR, so his heirs don't pay any estate tax! But when Hollingsworth Hound eventually dies of old age, HIS heirs will get only one million dollars tax-free and will get taxed on everything else! Lucky Ducky: GOTCHA HELP 'EM GET LUNCH! Impoverished Li'l Lucky Ducky wants a free school lunch worth $2. Hollingsworth Hound wants to deduct his $70 lunch. START START DIDN'T BRING PAY STUBS TO PROVE POVERTY FAILED TO PRODUCE TAX RETURNS TO PROVE POVERTY STATE CAN'T AFFORD VERIFICATION PROCEDURES NO RECEIPT REQUIRED WE TRUST YA! END Li'l Lucky Ducky: Mm! Bologna! Gotcha! END Hound: GRRR FUN WITH MATH! "The Median Is The Message" Lucky Ducky: I got no tax break! Hound: I got a tax break of $1 million! Lucky Ducky: YIPEEE! Hound: Why are YOU so happy? Lucky Ducky: WE got an AVERAGE tax break of $500 thousand! Hound: Oooo...Lucky Ducky wins AGAIN!
The estate tax currently exempts the first 5 million, not 1 million. And that assumes Hollingsworth didn’t set up a tax dodge like Romney.
