>Easy to take money from folks who aren't around any longer (or those >inheriting money - whatever your perspective) So the worthiness of a tax should be "how easy it is to take from people" ? How about a tax on senile elderly people? Or how about retarded people? I'm sure they wouldn't miss their money, lets just TAKE it from them. >Keeps planners and big strappin' attorneys in biz True, true. The biggest lobbyists against repealing the estate tax are life insurance companies and associated tax planners. Without the estate tax, they are out of a job.
