Yes it does. AND it you're following my reasoning regarding death, the better one is positioned to face the future the the less attractive is his ultimate end: DEATH. There is a lot of truth in the proverb: *We spend our health to gain our wealth; then we spend our wealth to save our health.*

That makes you OK... not rich... but that goes to my point on death taxes... and why I believe in passing/spending it all before the end.. a tricky path though... a million dollar estate split between a couple of kids is a nice leg up without the government talking its kilo of flesh to flush and fund their very sweet guaranteed pensions... earned regardless of performance... I continue to believe that democracy's efficiency is inversely proportional to electorate size..
