I hope you don't use this type of thinking to justify this legalized govt theft, because if you do, I will pay for a plane ticket to meet you so I can punch you in the jaw.

THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY THAT MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE! It is already taxed at least 2 times, via state and federal taxes! Business wont expand and keep shops and money just becuase of the fact that they will have to pay MORE taxes in the end once they die! How is that fair or even honest, Kevin? Please at least TRY to win me over.
Your argument is based on an argument that isn't real, that every small, humble business owner will be paying this tax. They won't be. This tax, much like the capital gains taxes, is in fact intended to keep the playing field level, essentially, make the "American Drwam" as difficult/accessible for everyone. Is it right that people are born with a silver spoon inheritance, do nothing their entire lives to earn it, and then get to preach on the virtues of hard work and low taxation?

I don't care if I win you over, btw. You are much too interesting to ever see change.
