The #DeathTax is an unfair tax that burdens family farms & ranches. Tragedy & loss shouldn’t be exploited to fill the federal government's coffers. Today, I led colleagues, including @LeaderMcConnell, @MikeCrapo, & many more, to reintro a #DeathTaxRepeal.

Oh give me a break, Senator. You seem to have no problem with a few aristocratic families being able to hoard America’s wealth, but many of us do. It goes against the entire idea what this country is supposed to stand for.

I would enthusiastically sign up for a 100% estate tax on my assets beyond $11.58 million in exchange for having $11.58 million in assets. Sad that this is remotely a priority during these times, esp. as the sliver of the affected population are the most adept at tax avoidance.

In fact, the vast majority of estates are never taxed. We propose reformulating—and escalating—taxes on inheritance in order in order to advance both efficiency and fairness.

My first academic law review article, co-authored in 2000 w/ philosopher J.D. Trout when I was a first year student at @StanfordLaw, examined how most fortunes evade estate taxes, and proposed a radical reformulation to tax inheritance instead of estates. worldcat.org/title/resurrect…

America is supposed to be a capitalist country where success is celebrated, not penalized!

This country stands for robbing people of the money they earned just because they are dead?
