Estate tax is a good tax. First off, they don't even tax the first several million dollars, so it only even hits the ultra wealthy. The estate tax will never effect 99% of this board, and that's an underestimate, if anything. And it helps limit how much of a giant leg up wealthy families can pass on to prevent a permanent nobility (well, restrict it...we definitely still have a permanent nobility).

Also, nearly all money is taxed multiple times, stop acting like the estate tax is special. I get taxed on my income. Then that money, which has already been taxed, gets taxed again nearly any time I buy shit (sales tax), earn on my savings (and that's taxed at income rates, not capital gains, so that's a double fuck you), or do anything else other than keep the damn money in a mattress.

This. And who better to tax than dead rich people?

yeah but that's like saying it ain't me so screw them, that tax doesn't apply to me

I like to think that I wouldn't care if I had that much.
