Guys,
I would hate for someone to think I can joke about the tragedy. This issue is very serious to me an has immediate moral implications.
Previous topic My post about the death tax was not an irony. It is
sarcasm - almost the opposite and quite serious. The name i gave to it was supposed to make everybody realise that each one of us is indirectly profiting from the tragedy - this and others.
I consider it atrocious that society has laws that allow some people (myself included) to profit at the expence of other's tragedy.
Participate in someone's success though income taxes - OK. Profit from someone's death - NO! I do not want MY GOVERNMENT to extort a penny from children of people who just died.
Simply put, I think that estate inheritance tax is immoral, cruel and should be abolished.
