Abstract
- The article discusses the benefits of increasing or introducing estate tax in the U.S. Economy expert Lee Farris says that the move can help ease the budget crisis in many states. Director Craig Jennins emphasizes that increasing the estate tax has the additional benefit of slowing a drift in the nation toward a modern-day aristocracy. Economist Joel Slemrod stresses that estate taxes serve as the nation's most progressive taxes.
