I'm all for this generation deciding, collectively, that the previous generation did not appropriately fund government and making a deal -- through estate transfer taxation -- to make government whole again.

Everyone from the previous gen. is culpable in this, but these people are also our fathers & mothers, so let's not try to handle this situation in the most abrasive way possible.
