Estate taxes are an effort to preserve some semblance of equal
opportunity despite huge inherited fortunes. They should probably be
more like 100 percent to accomplish that purpose.


Only in that it provides an equal opportunity for the rich to become
poor.
It doesn't' provide squat, as far as opportunity
for the poor to become rich.

So only the middle-class should become poor?


They have that opportunity, if they would only want to take advantage of it.
