I hate the exemptions on the Inheritance tax, and have no sympathy for people in this bracket. Given that the government must raise money through some form of taxes, it is much more fair to take from those who haven't done a thing to earn it (Rockefellers, Hiltons, etc) than from those who work every day (small businesses, salaried workers). IMO, passing on that quantity of wealth leads to a stratified society. Reasonable limits could be set, with the amounts above that taxed more heavily.
