Why do people vote for Hilary and Obama?

[Final-Fan]

Look, the government collects taxes to provide infrastructure and services to society. 
Who pays the taxes?  The people. 
Which people?  The ones who can pay. 
How much?  The amount society thinks it needs. 
Should some people pay more than others?  This is the tricky one.  Well, the easy part first.  The people who can barely feed, house, and clothe themselves obviously can't afford much.  We'll give them a free pass, but society needs that much more from the rest.  Next up:  The ones who can't pay for college for their kids.  Let's just take a little.  Next:  These ones are living pretty good, even if they don't have a summer home or anything.  We'll take a pretty good chunk.  Next up:  These ones can afford to give their girl a Porsche for her Sweet 16.  They can afford a pretty penny.  Finally:  Jackpot!  These guys have mansions in three states and could still live off of stock dividends if not for the twice-yearly world tour!

I don't see why taking more from the final category is immoral.  Even the dead ones. 

Coming at it from a different angle:  some people here have noted that the estate tax is a defense against the creation of a permanent class of "capitalist nobility" -- whole sections of society that can live off of inherited, self-sustaining assets.  In fact, these people already exist.  Imagine what would happen if the trend wasn't held in check! 

This wealth isn't created out of thin air.  Something has to create it, and it's (as usual) the working class.  The magic of capitalism just moves the fruits of their labors up the food chain into the hands of the investor class.  How is that "fair"?  Down with capitalism!  Oh, wait, "fair" is your schtick.
