This is a typical example of the tragedy wrought by the death tax. It is immoral and must be abolished. Message 21683314 "I SUPPORT comprehensive tax reform (elimination of nearly all loopholes and 'special tax preference items' and lowering of rates) BECAUSE of the beneficial effects such changes would have on the nation's long-term growth rate... NOT just because of any (speculative) potential 'gains' in revenue." Please accept my apology if I misunderstood your position. I support a tax code that does not discriminate against some taxpayers while exempting others. An example of this is the tax exemption for personal home gains. It which does not apply to negotiable securities. This is discrimination and should be abolished. Either give every investor the exemption regardless of asset class or eliminate it.
