In Marx we trust?

Till Death Do Us Part

(Subscription required. Lefties, this means you must spend your OWN money)

Karl Marx must be rolling in his grave, and don't even ask about V. I. Lenin: Russia eliminated its inheritance tax last month. Its move comes after January's decision by the government of Sweden, the birthplace of the modern-day welfare state, to eliminate its estate tax. Like the Russians, the Swedes have come to believe that the tax is unjust and economically counterproductive. Russia and Sweden join Argentina, Australia, Canada, India, Mexico and Switzerland as nations that don't make death a taxable event.

The U.S. now has the distinction of imposing the most onerous death tax in the industrialized world. The federal estate-tax rate is 45% on every dollar above a $1.5 million exemption, but in many states the combined federal/state tax on dying rises above 50%.

Congrats to our domestic Marxists for standing firm against reform of the inheritance tax. Oooh, harsh words Mr. Buzzcut! Yet Marx advocated the "[a]bolition of all rights of inheritance".

His ideals live today in the Democrat Party of the nation founded on the ideals of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Even the victims of the loony ideology of Marx, the pixilated flake who rarely left the library to encounter the real world, have cast this silliness aside.

Why can't the Left in America put their envy aside and do the same?

Most wealthy families in America are not Kennedys or Rockefellers (we refer only to the later generations of these once productive clans).

They actually work, defer gratification, invest, and PRODUCE.

It's time to cast this pathetic anachronism adrift.
