That Smidt's kid is an arshole does not mean that the rest of us
should pay for it.

Um, if I remember right, you do not have enough assets as to pay
estate tax, right? Why are you including yourself into "the rest of
us"?

Why are you so envious of those who are "better off" than you?
That's the underlying issue: envy, and a desire to punish the rich..
You have it, I don't.

If, indeed, your assets do not exceed estate tax deduction, they you
or your heirs would not be "paying".

So why should I be concerned if the Government decided you
corporatists have to pay more taxes? I mean, I don't have a
corporation, and I'm not likely to have one, so why should I concern
myself if they decide you aren't paying your fair share?

It is an illusion to have high government expenses, growing debt and
low taxes. I would prefer this to be more explicit and for taxes to
match expenses. Ideally that should be done by spending less money.
Don't try to duck the issue - you are envious of those who are
"better off" than you. That remains the underlying issue: envy, and a
desire to punish the rich. You have it, I don't.

And the government buys your soul by promising to do things better
for you that don't necessarily need to be done, promising to take it
form "The Other Guy".
