<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 7481290, member: 105571&quot;]The federal government does not tax all inheritances.&nbsp; Federal Estate Tax is only due on estates valued above a certain amount - I think it is currently $10M?</p><p><br /></p><p>But your question is why tax any estate?&nbsp; Because the government is greedy; views the value as theirs only being temporarily allowed to be held by you; a certain amount of envy among policy-makers;&nbsp; and a view among policy-makers that the estate is un-earned by the inheritors and thus morally suspect, you having it is not as valuable societally as the government having it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
