That very thought crossed my mind as well. A man of his stature could have been kept alive for another 5 years.
They made a good move, keeping his legacy in the family.

"Ultimately, the estate tax is not the “death tax” that its political opponents like to claim it is. George Steinbrenner is dead, and he will neither know nor care what tax his estate ultimately generates. The estate tax is a thrift tax, a success tax, a legacy tax. It is a tax imposed solely on those who would enjoy, sustain or build upon the achievements of an earlier generation."

I call BS. To say that someone will not "care" what happens to their money after they die is a steaming pantload. I'm taxed when I earn money, so I've already paid my due. To steal if from my family after I die is outright theft. Pure evil!

Not to worry. Hussein will no doubt make the tax retroactive!!!
