Remove the taxes on income and substantially increase the inheritence tax instead. Money makes the world go round. Spend your money!

Why tax anything at an "increased" rate? Why not shrink government? Work can and does make people rich. Yes - work ALONE will not make you rich - but nothing else will make you rich without work except inheritance.

Why not reduce the need for government to tax everything, get out of the way of people who are willing to not only work, but innovate?

Because too many people want no part of work - and instead want government to take from other people to give to them.
