Working the Estate Tax
- Share via
I take issue with the statement that “the estate tax applies only to enormous incomes acquired by people who did absolutely nothing to earn them” (letter, May 30). I have no doubt that there are many people who have accumulated substantial estates by a lifetime of hard work and saving. Income tax has already been paid on these earnings and continues to be paid on the investment returns.
