Is Obama really afraid of hurting his rich donors when they die by raising estate taxes?

Obama has already said that the rich --- many who funded his election --- can't afford to pay higher taxes now. Why won't Hussein raise the estate taxes on his rich donors? Is he afraid of hurting them after they're dead?

1. Because Obama is a liar, he may have not meant to be, but now he is.He is begining to act like Bush more and more each day.
2. he is so full of it. i'm about sick of him being a complete flip-flopper. and i voted for him!
3. the estate tax makes no sense and is nothing more than a money grab by the government in an attempt to steal from people who can no longer defend themselves. the money has already been taxed, and essentially the government is saying that anyone who saves or earns enough money to be considered "successful" will be punished by having huge percentages given to a government with a clear inability to manage money. simply wrong. perhaps obama has a bit of the same belief. the "death tax" is extremely unpopular.
4. Oh, he'll raise estate taxes. The kinda rich HE knows know how to hide it from the taxman.
5. Estate taxes are abhorrent. It's double taxation. You're taxing something that has already been taxed and penalizing the families.
6. Inheritance taxes are wrong!
