1. The "GOP" has LONG BEEN "code" for . . . (wait for it) "Groveling Oligarch Puppets." Voila.

2. Ahh the estate tax, where even after you die the government feels it is their solemn duty to lay your cooling corpse out on that black couch and get one last ride before hitting the road.

3. The way he holds the pen at the end, one of the ones Mrs. Landingham put in his pocket every day.

4. Very similar to Will Bailey and the interns.

5. I still tell people they dont make good yachts anymore. The Beer was better, the road had less bumps, and the miller kept his thumb off of the scale

6. As a short, can you please post Margaret forging the president's signature and vetoing things and sending them back to the Hill? Thanks.

7. For the curious: there is, in reality, no official veto stamp. I suppose a president could make and use one if they wanted, but the usual procedure is that the president returns the proposed legislation unsigned and attaches a signed letter explaining their objection to it

   I suppose add this to the list of ways The West Wing diverges from our timeline, along with the historical presidents, the text of the 25th amendment, the existence of Qumar, and the peace deal in the Middle East

8. Estate taxes are great in theory, until you realize how they're used as another tool to prevent generational wealth. "So let's see, with the real estate (house), life insurance policies, car value, personal property, stock and bonds, and other incidentals…oh would you look at that, you just manage to qualify for an extra 10% taxable! Yes, the law states that some of these accounts aren't taxable, but are you really going to spend what little money we're letting you keep to pay a lawyer and argue with the government?"

9. As someone who works on yachts and is currently typing this from the one I work on, Toby is incorrect

10. Tell that to Jeff Bezos. A yacht that has two swimming pools, a movie theater and needs its own support vessel…with a helipad.

11. Connie Britton is such a beautiful, classy woman. I wish she had been on the show more.

12. Capital Gains is a type of income tax at least in Canada, and it's taxed at half of what regular income is.

13. They're acting like a veto threat is such a revolutionary idea. Presidents always talk about vetoing bills they don't support. And by the way? This wouldn't be his first veto. Ainsley's first episode had her and Sam arguing about a bill he had vetoed.

14. The slight at the American dream was fantastic

15. Love Harry

16. The American People aren't as envious of success as Democrats.

17. Toby wants to be rich…

18. I love the details in this clip. Did you notice the Secret Service Agent outside the door? Well thought out set up.

19. Where do they get off talking about "if we're going to spend tax breaks" – YOU DON'T SPEND A TAX BREAK.
    IT IS OUR MONEY, YOU DON'T GET TO ACT LIKE IT IS YOURS TO "SPEND"!!

20. All the taxes people pay throughout their life and they are expected to pay a death/inheritance tax, AFTER they died, for something they ALREADY OWN!? The American Dream keeps getting farther and farther out of reach and harder and harder to see anymore.

21. $1 million dollars isn't what it used to be (now).
