Could never see the reasoning behind the idea that the estate of the deceased should be stripped down to nothing. My father started his business with a working capital of four pounds. He worked himself into an early grave (died at 60) and left a widow and a son still at school (me). Someone want to tell me why my mother should have been left destitute and I should have been denied the ability to complete my education, just so the government could rip off my old man's estate? Particularly when you consider that whatever he left behind was *already* the slim pickings remaining after every cent he ever made had already been taxed to the hilt? --- þ Synchronet þ Generated automatically on The ANJO BBS .
