I concur with the sentiments expressed by Smooth, Pan. As for Moosenose, and his innapropriate vitriol aside, he simply failed to provide any rationale in opposition to the various points which you made.
Moosenose, let me ask that you address the central issue in this thread, which is whether the estate tax is so patently unfair, when viewed in the context of all other "unfair" taxes, that it should be done away with at the cost of having to pick up the lost tax revenue somewhere else.
As was already pointed out, under the current estate tax structure a multimillionaire decedent will leave a multimillion dollar estate for his heirs, and the 99% or more of us who aren't multimillionaires won't pay anything. Again, I invite you to explain (in a civil manner please) how this result is so inequitable, as compared with other taxes imposed upon us, to compel estate tax repeal.
