Yavin4's JournalNo estate taxes mean Economic Absolute Monarchial rule
If you eliminate the estate taxes, scions of the uber wealthy will marry other scions, and thus, money will coagulate among a relative few. You want a loan to start a business? You need to ask Johnny Gates-Zuckerberg-Bezos for the money. Or, even worse, the Sam Walton XIV could lead us into a war somewhere.
Democracy is extremely fragile, esp. in the US where money dictates our politics. Imagine if the majority of our money is in the hands of a few families.
The Civil War wasn't about slavery? Have you heard of "Confederados"?
Emperor Dom Pedro II wanted to encourage the cultivation of cotton. After the American Civil War, Dom Pedro offered the potential immigrants subsidized transport to Brazil, cheap land, and tax breaks.[2] Former Confederate President Jefferson Davis and General Robert E. Lee advised Southerners against emigration, but many ignored their advice and set out to establish a new life away from the destruction of war and Northern rule under Reconstruction.
Many Southerners who took the Emperor's offer had lost their lands during the war, were unwilling to live under a conquering army, or simply did not expect an improvement in the South's economic position. In addition, Brazil still had slavery (and did not abolish it until 1888). Most of the immigrants were from the states of Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, and South Carolina.

Today's attack happened in my neighborhood.
I live in Battery Park City in New York. I was just in that very area at the same time of the attack just yesterday. This is very chilling to m, but I am not afraid.
If someone wanted to visit every national park in America, how many parks would one have to visit?
Also, can it be done?
Anyone watching Netflix's Mindhunter?
I have very mixed emotions about the show. What are your thoughts?

Do I have that right? And, why isn't our media pointing out this hypocrisy?
