My family is one of those "small businesses" that has assets +$4 million dollars and will pay no income tax under current estate tax laws, regardless of whether it's $4 million or $675,000.
Your family pays no income taxes? Or do you mean that you will pay no inheritance taxes? Those are different things. If either or both are the case, would you mind sharing their methods? Sounds a bit too good to be true.. my progenitors seem to pay lots.
SamSpade, class-warfare is the state of things under the current system. You're just peeved that someone would suggest that any other class than your own should ever win (or even try to win).
Keep in mind, Sam, that the money currently possessed by your family is not really 'theirs', except through the imposition of force by the State. Yours is a privilege built upon the death and misery of the working class. There is nothing 'wrong' with that - and I would suggest that it is reasonable for you to enjoy your wealth all the more knowing of their relative sufferings on your behalf. But please do not act as though they are somehow unreasonable or beyond the pale when they try to rectify their disadvantages a bit - it just sounds silly.
