"And when you die, the greedy government comes and takes away half of what you saved for you children or grandchildren.
That's the second most unfair tax." -
and this is what estate planning is for.
Nobody takes away anything under 1,2 mil ( or whatever it is now) . Over it - get a trust.
And how do you envision your sewer, road, traffic light, library, local park, town ambulance is supposed to be maintained after you are done with mortgage payments? The only thing I'm complaining - my school tax is quite high. But, hey, my kids went to public school, did great and I want other kids in town to get just as good of education.
