A video from The Heritage Foundation called “The Death Tax Burden on American Business.”  See also “Death Tax: Time to Kill It Forever.”  I benefit from the death tax because I am an estate planning attorney who charges $3,500 to prepare an estate plan with a trust that will maximize federal estate tax savings on the deaths of a husband and wife, but I favor repealing the death tax.  I think it is immoral to tax people all of their lives as they earn income and accumulate wealth and then tax the accumulated wealth a second time on death.

Another Heritage Foundation video on the same topic.

Heritage Foundation video number three on the death tax.

Heritage Foundation video number four on the death tax.
