"There is no morally defensible reason to retain the death tax."

Really?

A wealth transfer tax that affects a fraction of a percent of Americans?

I would think that morally it's on pretty solid ground when compared to taxes on INCOME, or SALES, or CAPITAL GAINS....

Why not eliminate taxes all together?

Who needs police, roads, armed forces or a justice system? That’s just bad government.

With no taxes growth will be infinite and the deficit will shrink to zero.
