In this linked story, the granddaughter of Roy Disney, states why she thinks the estate tax is important.
Taxes are not a penalty for working hard. They are a contribution to building a stronger America. From the Story:
"Disney, a filmmaker and philanthropist, spent a lot of time shooting a film in Liberia. [Abigail Disney] says there, unlike the United States, there are no safe roads or schools and therefore no safe investments. And she says those who make money in a secure society like the U.S. also owe the society a debt.
She joined a group of wealthy individuals called United for a Fair Economy in part, she says, because she felt wealth is fundamentally unfair.
Warren Buffett and Robert Rubin are also members of United for a Fair Economy.
