"only to have my family write a check to the govt for 55% of what I have worked for."

I know you don't like to be encumbered with reality, but you do actually know this is BS, don't you?

For one, the rate isn't 55%. For another, I am extremely dubious that your net worth puts you in the top 0.27% that are affected by estate taxes at all. Much less pay anywhere close to the 45%. With the $2 million exemption per individual, you'd have to be worth billions for that to happen.
