Republicans are Right on Death Tax

The death tax penalizes small business owners and thrifty people, and serves to hamper progress, justice, and smaller businesses.  This contributes to more firmly entrenching people into their economic situation - and detracts from economic mobility.  It should be opposed regardless of its effect on the rich.

I agree.  It is a sad and unfortunately common liberal perception that the poor are better off in a high-tax, high-government spending economy and situation.  Not only is economic mobility increased dramatically in a more conservative/libertarian situation, the poor are economically better off as well, supposing the society is libertarian enough.  In a truly free society, there is more wealth to go around, which ends up benefitting everyone, be they rich or poor, and regardless of 'income gaps' as liberals often like to call them.
