My support for the "death tax" is based on a singular principle of fairness (not from your point of view I am sure). It's my belief that one shouldn't receiver tax free money even if it's coming from their parents. I see parents leaving money for their children as a form of payment and every time I get paid uncle sam takes his cut so why shouldn't he take a bite out of inheritance? Simply put I would like to see the money treated as if it were income and taxed progressively.

I suppose it should be noted that I have no intention of leaving my kids a windfall.
