An AP story upon the death of New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner this week actually bemoaned the fact that he died in a year in which there is no federal "death tax" on large estates.

Some people suffer from the false belief that all wealth is earned through hard work and none is earned through exploitation of the system set up by the wealthy.

Someone mentioned to me that he has heard that many wealthy people who are in poor health are considering assisted suicide before the year is out, in order to leave their wealth unplundered.
I'll never be wealthy so none of this applies to me. But the inheritance tax is a farce.
Anon. #1, you seem to have a case of "sour grapes".

Perhaps you are not up on current events but all you have to do is look at how the coal mine and oil industries currently operate and conclude that wealth is earned off the backs of the poor unfortunate souls who are just trying to earn a living.

I find little concern for those of great wealth. Most are arrogant persons who are only self centered.
To me real wealth is treating your fellow man fairly, and penalizing those who offend the masses.
Guess alot will take offence with my thoughts, but that is the way I feel.
