nothing more certain than death and tax, we are told so the best expression of that certainty by legislation is naturally the Death Tax, a doubling up of certainty nothing like rule by making up laws

Meta, the other way to look at it is that the deceased has already likely paid taxes on much of the estate .. so this equates to a double taxation... I have not worked to put away my quite modest stash to give half to the government which has proven time again to be incredibly wasteful and self rewarding .... Also my kids work hard and have earned the leftovers.. I frankly am doing my best to pass on as much as possible before I die... hopefully I'll die broke.. I've paid my fair share of taxes... why should my after tax dollars be taxed again... What has the government earned ? TBS

Please revalue your logic - why those that save and do not spend should be taxed twice and the second time at a rate of 55%? All it does it gives way to all kinds of tricks to avoid those erroneous taxes on income that was already taxed. Why punish the saver and rewarding the careless spender? I work hard and pay my share in taxes why should my savings taxed again and at 55%? Why do I need to pay an accountant additional fees so that he should establish an entity where I will not taxed twice?
