I've heard pretty good arguments for big time confiscation of assetts after death centered on getting people to be productive in their own right. Thing is, these kinds of taxes will be avoided by the same kind of people that take their parents assetts before putting them in nursing homes at our expense. Tax laws ought to be enforceable. It does seem pretty callous to take a multi-generation business a family has poured its heart into. I'm pretty leary of the destructive power of taxes generally. Maybe we should look at consumption taxes... *shrug* I'm pretty tired so I may be making no sense...
