We can debate all day about how much tax we need to pay. My point is simply
that if we must pay tax it is fairer to tax the money after the person that
made it no longer needs it. It is human nature to want to hand on money to
kids, I think handing on a great education is of much greater benefit to them.
This would be easier if we did not get taxed on earnings, just "windfalls".
I know this is idealistic and impossible to control and will never happen, but
I have been infuriated by an individual I know (very well) who inherited a
fortune, does no work, and complains mightily about the high income of others.
