Fareed should lead by example. And why wait for the death tax to kick in? Socialism is a fantastic idea until you run out of other people's money and have to start using your own.

The inheritance tax is a cancer on family farms and small business, and a milnor scratch on plutocrats.

I would support a repeal of the income tax to be replaced by a high-rate estate or inheritance tax. Under such a scheme, productive persons could keep their earnings; productive behavior would be rewarded; and we could avoid having more Ted Kennedys, who, if he had had to rely on his own merits would have been a nothing, but in fact was Senator-for-life because he inherited millions from daddy.

Limosine liberals first.

Time to lead by example.

nothing is more un-American than an inherited elite that perpetuates itself

Maybe it should be retroactive, so the Kennedys and Rockefellers can pay their back taxes for enough generations to impoverish them.

I think Fareed Zakaria should go back to whatever third world hell hole spawned him and shut the hell up about what Americans should do.

This is the guy who is the media’s number one China cheerleader, the author of Obama’s bible The Post-American World. Why isn’t he calling for 50% China or India inheritance taxes?
