"Without the estate tax you will have an aristocracy of wealth ... " So does that mean that taxes are supposed to be punitive ... in order to "get back at" people who have been financially successful? Now that's a genuine Marxist-Leninist idea ! And we all know how successful countries which adhere to Marxism-Leninism have been.

" ... you pass down the ability to command the resources of the nation ... " Another Marxist-Leninist concept ... that there's a rapacious class which commands resources. Hey, buddy ... this is America ... no one commands anything here.

Again ... we have leftists relying on other leftists to support their bubbleheaded, sophomoric beliefs.

Here's a little secret ... socialism doesn't work ... in fact socialism can't work ... because socialists don't understand that wealth is something which must be created ... it's not something which simply exists and merely has to be distributed by a select elite.

Warren Buffet is a socialist. Holy guacomole. Now I am really done.

Trapped in a very deep hole with no way out. He sits at the bottom with putrification well on its way.

Hey ...here's a another bit of info that you hadn't thought of ...

Warren Buffet got his fortune started by selling life insurance ... and life insurance sales are highly dependent on the existence of death taxes. It was and is in Mr. Buffet's personal financial interest to keep that noxious tax alive.

And ... some of the biggest socialists in the world ... are people who have made huge fortunes in the capitalist system. The simplest example being the bubbleheads in Hollyweird. You don't have to be poor or unsuccessful to spout idiotic socialist nostrums.
