There is a bigger reason for the estate tax than just collecting tax revenue.

It's in place so that we don't end up with a permanent aristocracy in this country, which is what we would have if the JP Morgans and John Rockefellers of the world never had their estate subject to that tax.

It affects less than 2% of all estates in America.
