But that doesn't change the fact that you seem to object to Paris
Hilton (et alia) inheriting her father's estate, yet feel that you
should be able to pass on your estate to your children.

Why, myself I would not mind having a part if it taken as taxes, I
think that it is totally fair.

We know that. So as long as your children get to keep a memento,
you're good with that.

I do not consider 55% or 65% of my money to be a "memento". Considering how
much I could transfer to them tax free, I am not losing my sleep over
estate taxes.

Iggy, we already know what you are, we're merely haggling over the
price. You find it fair to be taxed on your savings, which merely
means that you have no grounds to complain if the Government decides
to tax the estates of the Rich at 99% - and defines you as one of the
Rich.

After all, you do need to make a "fair contribution" to "society",
and of course, it is up to those in the legislature to determine
which bureau will be deciding what is fair. Naturally, as you
consider the government to have first priority when it comes to
claiming the fruits of your labor.

Naturally such things are easier to think, than to actually research
this issue.

Sure it is Tovarish..sure it is.

Iggy has the Socialist disease, believes that it really doesn't
matter what is done, as long as it only effects large amounts of other
people's money.
