All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Something all bills fans should be paying attention to!!

Today the House of Represenatives voted to permanately end the estate tax. This is a very important issue due to the fact that if Ralph Wilson dies, and the estate tax is still in place, his family will have a difficult time paying it. If the estate tax is taken away, his family will have a MUCH MUCH easier time keeping this team in their name. Lets hope is it abolished! It's a very important issue that we should all be paying attention to.
The estate tax needs to be repealed.. If I remember correct (I wrote about this in an economics class), estate taxes kick in for value of all your goods over $600,000. That means if you toil your whole life, own a $200,000 house, and have $400,000 saved up/life insurance when you die you're considered rich and the government takes half. The $600,000 hasn't increased since 1976. $600,000 was a lot more then than it is now...
The so called "death tax" is one of the most unfair burdens ever imposed by our government. Each year, many small, family owned businesses must be sold - rather than passed on to the next generation - because the owner dies and the heirs cannot pay the rapacious estate taxes.
If not repealed, the death tax will make it very difficult for the Wilson family to retain the team when Ralph passes.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
I agree. There probably are not enough conservative votes in the Senate to repeal it.

what?? are you drunk already?? handsome?? isn't that a trait that describes a man??...oh, now I get it...nevermind
seriously, the threshold needs to be increased...the tax was enacted to prevent the development of an aristocracy...Bill Gates kids don't need $40 Billion...even he says that. A good threshold would be $25 million.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
Maybe the family will do an ongoing Weekend At Bernies kind of thing with him.
