Why should ANYONE have to pay a big chunk of their estate to the useless government when they die?
Why should ANYONE have to pay any taxes ever?

Because an estate tax only hits the wealthy, who already get massive tax breaks. It just puts less money into the pockets of the regular people and increases the wealth divide. Ironman, if you aren't part of the .1 percent, you are arguing against your self interest.
It is like retired people voting for Trump only to see Trump hurt benefits to the retired people in the future. You have no clue, Ironman. If the government doesn't get money from the uber rich, Ironman, guess what? You are next in line to have your taxes raised!
I do agree that large estates (like more than $10M) being passed down need to be taxed. With wealth inequality being as bad as it is, the wealthy gotta pay more.

Come on, those rich kids might not be able to afford their private jets, might have to flight first class commercial. It's ok,the middle class can handle the tax burden that the rich don't pay. Look how well that worked in the last 16 years

A billionaire should end up paying minimum 50% death tax. If i become a billionaire i will change my mind.

So why would you want to use the roads, schools and security ( army, police ) provided by the government
Liberals get down the basic nitty gritty when they defend high taxes don't they?
What a bunch of dinndunuffins.
In fact our roads are being hijacked by Sun Pass let them pay for the fucking roads they are sending me a bill for using the damn things!
