    I’d just like to give a shout-out to estate tax, which is the only kind of tax that has the explicit purpose of preventing the establishment of an aristocracy.

      Yeah but it also means that families might not be able to afford their own home if the people listed on the deed die.

      1 home should be deductible from property and estate taxes for all individuals, and not at all for any kind of corporation or organization.
