The estate tax is probably the single most vile tax in America.

All estates were taxed as they were created. First, you pay income tax, then you pay property taxes, over and over again. Then you pay tax when you buy your property, again when you sell it.

By the time you die, your estate has been taxed, upon tax, upon tax. How is it fair to take it again?

Most people do not realize that a middle class, not rich, couple who is smart and saves can see the surviving spouse bankrupted with estate taxes (because the tax is assessed on perceived "value" not actual worth). Many thousands of Americans have lost jobs when the small business is closed because Uncle Sam demands their cut AGAIN.

Taxes should not be used as punishment for success and saving. Taxes should NEVER be levied on already paid taxed property.

And to think we committed treason against England for a THREE PERCENT tax.

We are fools and taxes will kill us all.

Agreed the estate tax is ridiculous. They get away with it by using class warfare. It cracks me up that they think Conservatives are the ones who use social wedge issues to get policy passed and elections won.
