re: #584 Olsonist

Not really. You should pay more attention to what you say.

Are we not allowed to control the fruits of our labors?

That seems to me an argument against all taxation, not an argument against the estate tax.

Oh, come on.
That statement was the last one in this post clearly mentioning what happens upon death.

If—upon our deaths—the state has the right to take what we earn with our bodies while we’re alive, what’s to stop it from taking our bodies when we’re dead? Is property not an extension of our bodies? Do we not earn it by the toil we exert? Are we not allowed to control the fruits of our labors?
