Why all of us should object is because why should Paris Hilton get to max out on America's resources because she was born into the right family? I once look at it that way. The way I look at it now is why should, whatever I or my wife leave behind, not go to our children? Why should they have to sell the house they grew up in just to pay the inheritance taxes? We are not talking about passing down your house to your children. We are talking about billions of dollars being passed from one generation to the next only because they were born into the right family. Why should the rich keep consuming and passing down more and more of this country's resources just because they lucked out and were born to someone who moved here two hundreds years ago and made some money Because it beats the alternatives. What alternatives? It stinks. And when the situation gets bad enough, as it will inevitably, there will be another revolution. You have predicted how many of the past zero revolutions? Did you think the timeline is 4-5 years? People have to reach a certain level of anger before they revolt. BS. Paris Hilton is a blonde idiot. If she had a brain, it atrophied long ago. Another myth for the American public, including you, to slurp up with their sugar coated concoctions. I went to school with a number of the richly inherited. Their genes have worn thin. They would be lucky to be janitors if they lost their inheritances. If what you say is true, they indeed will likely lose their inheritances in their lifetime. They are not that stupid.
