| KILLING THE DEATH TAX
Dead people do no wrong. This is true even if the dead people happen to have been rich. Anyone who has died with a large amount of wealth has done well by society: she has worked hard and saved well, and she has not spent all of her money on herself. A principled society should celebrate its frugal deceased. But America taxes them and at rates exceeding 50%. That's a disgrace |
