What I'm saying is if they get a multi-million $ windfall they shouldn't gripe about paying 20-30% taxes on it. They didn't earn it...and you have to pay taxes on lottery and gambling winnings- what's the difference?
The purpose of inheritance tax was to prevent wealthy dynasties buying power and the Govt... like the SC just approved of !! ALso remember back then the tax rate on millions was about 90%, not todays 20-30% !!
