On the contrary, I think economists have shown that an inheritance tax boosts productivity. And Ben Stein claims it's *way too high*, when only a vast minority of estates qualify for it. You essentially have to be a millionaire. Granted, a million bucks sure aint what it used to be. Let me pull out my tiniest violin for you. I always thought of Ben as a stand-up guy, but this really shows him to be a selfish Republican hack. Granted, he did serve in the Nixon administration. Most of what he is proposing seems to be standard Republican party line.
