Nobody said that an inherenance tax of any sort is enumeratedhe constitution. The point is that the founding fathers were opposed to inherited wealth. In fact, many even thought inherited wealth was anti-capitalistic and un-democratic! Moreover, many even thought that inherited wealth should be disbursed amomgst society for the general good of all. By not enumerating anything about inherited wealth in the constitution, it would appear that the issue was reserved for the states. What does that sound like to you. huh?

Buffet does believe in the tax. In no small part because he owns several insurance companies that write mega policies to mega rich folks to help them dodge said tax. And he also owns some companies that buy up family farms and small businesses when they can't swallow the tax.

So yes, he "believes" in it. Follow the money. These guys don't get rich handing it all over to the government.

And I'm well aware of that stupid list where about 20 millionaires signed on to say they'd like to pay more taxes. Which means about 1.8 million millionaires didn't sign on to pay more taxes.

Beyond being stoned or stupid, I don't know why anyone would want a larger annual tax hit codified for eterinity. If anyone is jonesing to pay more taxes than what they owe, the IRS has a whole sector of folks who will take care of that for you without writing any new tax tables.

But, our founding fathers strongly felt otherwise!
