I agree with people should be able to keep their own money when they die, estate taxes are the worst form of theft because the person can not defend themselves. I really enjoyed the article and thought it was very informative to learn more about the shadow economy. However..
In all fairness @dollarvigilante you mischaracterized Jacob Rothschild's statement when you describe him as saying "impossible" but not the including his use of the modifier "not".
the consequences are “impossible” to predict.
It is clear in his quote a few lines down he is saying the opposite.
It’s not impossible to predict. There’s going to be a gigantic crash.
Your description of the cited quote connotes uncertainty and the actual source quote is saying just the opposite. Probably an honest mistake just thought I would point it out.
