The Death of the Death Tax

The estate tax, that wonderful contradiction – it affects %2 of the country (those making more than one million – yet it seems the working class is completely opposed to it as if it could ever affect them.  These articles are pretty good at showing how the opposition to the death tax (do I need to mention them by name?) spun the matter in such a way as to make it seem as though it is unfair.  Of course, the only unfair thing here is the way they make that money by sitting on their asses.  They would like you to believe (and they have been successful) that every multi-millionaire got there through hard work.  They may have worked hard, but it would have been impossible but for the money they themselves inherited.  They owe society a debt.
