So Brooke Astor is a rich socialite, and Anthony Marshall may have been accused of doing some horrible things. Is that a reason for the government to steal from them? Anthony Marshall, the tabloids tell us, wouldn't buy his elderly mother her prescribed medicine, locked her poodles in the pantry and refused to buy her hair dye or her favorite make-up. His mom is Brooke Astor, the ultra-rich socialite, now frail, helpless and dependent on her son. If he did all that to her maybe he won't be getting her millions. If she has the million she doesn't have to be dependent on him, she can afford to pay for other people to care for her who won't do such things to her. If he locks her up and cuts her off so she can't do those things than he could possibly be convicted of a crime. That crime has nothing to do with inheritance taxes.
