in each of those instances you are purchasing or using something in order to create a transaction.
the estate tax does not tax the money as it is passed to the beneficiary. the estate is taxed and the beneficiary gets what is left. that is not a transactionary tax.
but we can agree to disagree on that. will you at least grant that a lot of little people are getting hosed by this tax that people think is only applicable to the ultra wealthy?
