Sorry Rupert, did not read it all the way thru.

I did see some cases in which inheritance would disallow a family business to continue. That would not be fair. I just dont believe that taxing the heck out of rich people for the purpose of redistributing wealth works. It just puts them into a defensive shell of saving and really causes a scrooge effect. I think it is counter productive.

I really dont mind being taxed. I just want it to be easy. I personally would gladly pay 30% of my income if all I had to do was pay 30% of my income. But it is never that easy.
