>> Paine advocated a 100% estate tax.

Stupid idea.

There is no more powerful incentive for economic growth in existence than for a person to be able to leave his or her wealth to their offspring.

I can see how Paine could be confused about this. For anyone alive today to support confiscatory estate taxes is just out of ignorance.
