1. We ALL owe our good fortune to those who went before, Slaves & Original |

Americans (Indians) who gave up their lives and lands for the wealth & liberties that we demand. We must also remember those in other countries that died and suffered so that U.S. mulitnational chemical, agricultural and weapons industries could acquire their profits and their products. BUT having acknowledged the true SOURCE of the U.S. wealth, those of us that work harder for a relatively smaller share of the U.S. pot might still do well to remember that our working poor suffer, even if it's less suffering than African and South American poor. Some limit on the maximum tax-free dollar amount of inheritance just seems fair. Is that communistic?
