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.

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.
