The estate tax

Kudos to the writer of the Feb. 1 letter, "Once we're dead, feds, leave us be," a response to Brain Miller's Jan. 24 Sunday Forum article, "It's time to bring back the estate tax." The letter writer said everything I wanted to say, but I just didn't take the time to write it down.

When I read Miller's piece, I wanted to scream. It's just not right to tax a dead man's money, after it's been taxed while he is alive.

I'm so sick of the left way of thinking. Take from the working man and give to the worthless people who just keep dragging down and bankrupting this country.

I'm not saying all welfare isn't needed, there's just so many who are quite capable of working. But the system has made it so easy to receive and has taken away any incentive for them to get a job. I'm afraid we are in for a revolution.
