A Thesis on the Integrity of Human Charity by Clifford J. Willey PhD.

The estate tax is a tax paid when someone dies... the tax on their estate taken out before the survivors get the rest depending on the will, I believe. It's got a very high minimum income, so only the top few percent of Americans have to pay it... but of course that top 2% or so is the Republicans' chief demographic (appeasing them is their first task. Conning everyone else into believing that that's the right thing to do is their second...), so they want to get rid of it.

As for taxing versus donation. It's the same thing. Except with donating, there is a possibility the required funding will not be raised. Im not too excited about paying taxes but I will if it's required from me.

At least if gas prices were high because of high taxes you'd know that you're getting something back for your money...
