I think one of the original arguments for an estate tax was to avoid the concentration of wealth and power

How much must you have in your estate to qualify as someone the government considers --- a CONCENTRATOR OF WEALTH AND POWER ?

Uncle Sam considers $3.5 Million today as the qualifier. THAT IS AN OLIGOPOLY ?

One of the tenants of conservatism is we DO NOT LIVE IN A PERFECT World. We are not idealists. I stated what I thought the concern was in the original law.

I as a conservative am concerned about the concentration of wealth and power, because I know and understand the nature of man. I ALSO stated that the estate tax did not solve this. Please read and think before posting.

You evidently think concentration of wealth and power is ok. Unrestrained capitalism is no better than unrestrained government. Our founders set up a complex system of checks and balances for a reason.

Even God was concerned enough about this to set up the year of jubilee which interestingly enough was never implemented.
