You don't understand....I'm all for capitalism and wealth....and part of that is being against DEATH taxes, after you have paid INCOME taxes, SALES taxes, UTILITY taxes, PROPERTY taxes, BUSINESS taxes, etc.....and then to TAX your estate when you are DEAD???? That is what I mean. My point is that the super rich hire lots of attorneys and accountants to AVOID the death taxes, and then tout them for everyone else.
It's just another Socialist way to level the playing field. You can't pass accumulated wealth to your progeny because you had to give it to the Government at your death. The Government then gets to redistribute it to others "less fortunate."
It kills two birds with one stone.
