The Death Tax

     While the other presidential candidates are at the Conventions or Hollywood fundraisers, I am working on my platform to save America. The next part of the platform is...... the elimination of the Death Tax. I know this mainly effects the rich but right is right. The idea that you can't die without the IRS getting one more shot at you is just horrible.
     This effects the average person more than you think. Lets say you have a farm or some form of family business, now most of you know that if you have one of these it doesn't make you rich. According to the IRS though these are valuable assets and you could pay 35% of their value in taxes. This doesn't even include a state inheritance tax. This a lot of times forces people to sell the family farm or business.
     I know nowadays we in America hate the 1%, unless its Oprah, Brad Pitt, or Jay Z. However, I believe if you want to leave something to your kids or whoever, that's your prerogative. We need to realize that person's wealth is theirs and not the government's to share.
