Re: ....so?
I doubt the tax rate is 50%.
It only applies to those with multi-million dollar inheritances.
I generally agree the gov't shouldn't be entitled to one's money but that's pretty well established. They sure don't work hard for it!
Taxes like this are ones I support more. I think those who inherit 10 million can afford to pay 2 million of it to the gov't. Aw, only got 8 million for free from your dead uncle? I'm so sorry 
I'd much rather that policy. If we're talking about unfair taxes, how about taking 1/3rd of a low-middle-class salary! That's a lot more painful.
Repealing the Estate Tax is just another friendly backslap for wealthy politicians to give to their wealthy political backers. You and I will never be affected by it.

Chicago, IL | This year, the estate tax rate is 45% of the amount above $2 million. Doubt away, but it doesn't make the rate lower. |
