Article.
Instead of this article focusing on the lapse of the death tax for 2010, I wish it instead would have asked: "What gives the government the right to take a percentage of a person's money just because they have died?"
They earned that money, not the government. It should be their choice as to what happens to it per their will.
That money has already been taxed when they earned it. (I'll allow for taxes upon money that gets removed from certain stocks, funds, accounts, etc. that was previously tax free until the death.) The government has no business taxing it again.
From the article:
Blow it out your ass Mr. Collins.
Stealing a person's hard earned fortune and giving it away to people who aren't working hard is the opposite of what this country was founded upon.

Mr. Collins argues that the tax is a “recycling program for economic opportunity.”
