Shays, a strong supporter of President Bush's tax cuts, said killing the estate tax would not produce any significant economic incentives.

Now here is the arrogant attitude of Washington about TAKING OUR MONEY. They won't let us keep what IS OURS because doing so does nothing FOR THEM. Now how is that for an excuse to keep stealing our money VIA THE ESTATE TAX, (THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN TAXED)...
My point as well. Why should there be a compelling "economic incentive" reason for people to keep their own money? Shays' attitude is that all money belongs to the government, and it's only by the good graces of the government in its infinite wisdom that it allows people to keep any for themselves. This kind of arrogance makes me sick.
