I must admit you may not be entirely wrong about that. I'm not a big fan of
any tax but inheritance tax would be the LAST one I'd remove. I'd also say
that Libertarians are right in advocating Ivy League universities stop their
affirmative action admittance policy, but they should also get rid of their
legacy admittance policy.
