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.

But your tables are based on growth rates of a given period, and this is why it is flawed.  Capitalism builds upon itself and the tools of the past.  A man's productivity in the 20th century is greater than his productivity in the past, because we have a stunning and enhanced array of tools in comparison with his array of tools utilizable to him in the past.  Thus, our growth rate now should be faster than it was a hundred or two hundred years ago, regardless of what economic system we were living under at that time.
