[Of course, there are MANY MANY MORE ways then just 'two' to address the imbalance.]

"...You can either increase taxes or decrease benefits."

Of course. And, as I pointed out, there are innumerous ways to achieve either of these.

"The Death Tax is immoral and must be abolished completely. There is nothing else to say about the death tax."

ALL TAXES are 'immoral', by definition.

IMO though, compared to other taxes (income taxes, sales taxes, tariffs, etc.) the inheritance tax is the least 'immoral', by having the least depressing effect upon capital formation or the will to work and create.
