You don't think the estate tax is the Maginot Line that keeps regressive state and local taxes down (because the money is all shipped to the states), except in NY and California of course, which are shining polities on the hill that know how to extract revenue from the rich, in part because the places have unique advantages that make it more difficult for folks to decamp? What's wrong with you?

If we just raise the estate tax to 100% and put a 2000% tax on luxury yachts over $200,000, even our homeless would be living in deeeeeelux apartments in the sky-i-i-i.

Liberals have such a stellar grasp of economics.
