History of the Estate Tax

[piece-itpete]

Yes, the right is brain dead.

The pendulum only swings wide when it's coming back the other way D

I understand that the estate tax can help prevent a feudal system. I also know that it is (or was) wrong to take other people's stuff.

So balance becomes vitally important. Right now the rich are under attack, from the campaign anyway (the Dems did extend the tax cuts after all), someone needs to speak up and point out that it is much preferable to live in a wealthy society than a poor one.

Keep in mind I was responding to a suggestion that wealth be capped at a couple mil. That is radical!

You can't get rid of the wealthy anyway - they'll just move. And the balance of power will move with them. It's a cold cold world
