Wed, 9 August 2006 The progressives are in a wealthist lather over Republican attempts to repeal the Estate Tax. Bob and Mark use the arguments of one the internet's most popular progressives, Jack Clarke, to show how support for the Estate Tax is really nothing more than envy-fueled revenge. Far from actually serving its purported purpose of fairly redistributing wealth, the Estate Tax is actually a wealth destroyer, which serves only to increase the distribution of poverty. Mark also goes off on a quick diatribe about the concept of "giving back" in a pay-as-you-go society which shouldn't be missed.
