I can't even fathom the kind of mind that thinks this kind of thing is something to do, much less share.

Here is a good article from a good years ago that touches on the myth that the founding fathers were rich upper class. They would hate the GOP with a passion for what they did to the country they founded.

Except I'm pretty sure the founders were against both a federal income tax, and estate tax.
Against income tax but not estate tax.
Jefferson was very against it.

Remember they were just getting away from the monarch and a system where the ruling classes all had fortunes built on family fortunes. They saw first hand that a system like that ensured the ruling class pretty much always stayed the same.

He says property tax, and is talking about lands and land use in that context, I don't think that would extend to the system of estate tax that we have today - where taxes are levied on people's money that has already been taxed.
I think a zero estate tax is good. I also think that capital gains should be taxed as normal income.

Land was viewed differently in that time. Land was a cheap commodity and actions were done by politicians that lowered land value. When he died he was rich in land but money wise bankrupt.
The term for that was land poor. It was common until about 1970 in the US. Now there aren't many land poor folks.
