SEVERAL YEARS AGO I SUGGESTED in these pages that it would be good conservative policy to raise, rather than lower, inheritance taxes. After all, American conservatives, traditional and neo, believe in a meritocracy in which material success should depend mostly on our own efforts and accomplishments, rather than those of our ancestors.
death taxes (income taxes) freeze old fortunes and get in the way of the creation of news ones.
like Bill Gates sr (MS Bills old man, a bloviating old fart who's already built his family fortune/legacy) this guy is an utter tool.
ok so im not feeling very eloquent right now.

I noticed back when "Bill Gates the Elder" was going on about the joys of the Death Tax that his son was dead-silent on the issue.
