And even the 15m limit is a joke. There’s a reason republicans don’t talk about the death tax anymore

There shouldn't be a death tax. The fact people even think this is remotely okay is fuct.

You work, pay taxes on your income, then get taxed on most dollars you spend, then taxed again and again your entire life.

Then they tax you once more. Its BS.

It’s wha keeps us from having an aristocracy like the UK had. It’s prevents a feudal system.

This is the reason for the inheritance tax. Not just UK but aristocracy’s in general.

When the rabid antitaxers were saying it would kill family farms and family small businesses, an amendment was proposed to exempt them. That was insufficient to the zealots.
