Subject: Estate Tax

Comment: I am strongly in favor of keeping the Estate Tax:
(1) The Estate Tax helps to narrow the gap betweeen the most wealthy and the rest of society. This gap has been growing in recent years.
(2) The Estate Tax tends to limit the extent to which beneficiaries amass large sums of money, without having earned it.
(3) Naturally, the Estate Tax contributes to the taxation revenue.
