TR tried that, he wanted a 100% death tax...no dice. I'm sorta torn on the idea, we live in a country where "you're judged by the merit of your character" and not your skin tone or father, yet..we can pass on cash. Not sure on that one.

I do think for every Paris Hiton you can find a Trump kiddo who has done good with the funds they've received from their family. And it is absolutely not the role of the government to deem what is passed on as 'necessary'. That is communist.
