The government spends 50 cents to collect every dollar from the deceased, thanks to the monstrous complexity of our tax laws. Meanwhile, family businesses are forced into bankruptcy to pay the tax. Too bad for the employees. The world's richest man, Bill Gates, has created thousands of jobs at Microsoft. He has also donated billions to charity.
Most rich people are generous and responsible.
Less could be said for a government which builds housing projects, then blows them up 10 years later. Even the poorest American would be considered wealthy in Ethiopia or India. Class envy is stupid and childish. We should put it aside, once and for all. Seems to me these United States should have enough economic clout to be able to lean a little on Mexico and Venezuela in this matter of oil deliveries.
