Read a rather disturbing article that came out a few days ago on google.

It predicted that in the coming years, as the 30-40 something crowd comes to power, they will likely raise inheritance tax.  If that happens, (hope it doesn't) that won't be a surprise, considering that so many of their boomer parents are divorced, and that entire drama tends to crush nest-eggs.  So, there's mr or ms legislator, who - with little or no help from jetsetting-with-some-compaaannionn mom or dad - the now 40ish kid somehow managed to pay down an insane college debt...well yeah, there's bound to be an attitude concerning inheritance.  In the mix, the boomer attitude that when kids are grown, they should not need their goodtiming parents' help anymore.  There ya go - applied evolution.  Godda roll.
