I think the word subsidize is a real stretch when attempting to relate it to the estate tax. They have already taken a bounteous share of what the rich make in comparison to the poor, but to have to give it back is foreign to the nature.

The estate tax should go, I agree. What I found vexing was the author's attempt to claim our government wasn't playing Robin Hood for all the wrong reasons.

2 million is a pittance in some areas of the country.

It will barely buy a 1000 sq ft condo in Manhatten

It will buy 2 4000 sq ft homes in suburban Wash DC.

It will provide a decent but not lavish retirement for a couple.

It will buy a small cottage in Palo Alto.

Now in Columbus Ohio, it will buy the mother of all houses.

Give it back? They are going to write the people a check?
