Your spelling has become as bad as Nick's ;-)

More seriously, I agree with you. Estate taxes are as much as the state deserves. I happen to be acquainted with this issue personally. My father died in May 2012 at the age of 79 and left his estate to his four children. He worked hard his whole life for that money and that is where he intended it to go. The government has its share.

I miss him more than I expected to. More than once I have picked up the phone to call him about some amusing thing in the news. This has been my education in what dead means.
