It's amazing how many Republican voters foam at the mouth about inheritance taxes when it won't ever affect them or anyone they know. Temporarily embarrassed 14-millionaires.
It's one of the few taxes that I think are completely valid. When you're dead, you don't need your income anymore, so there's really no negative impact to you. Yeah, it impacts your heirs, but you can provide for them in other ways, like paying for their education, giving them gifts while you're alive, etc.
Let's not act like they don't get anything, it's just taxed.
Yup, and current rates are quite reasonable.
