Lots of confusion and misunderstanding in these comments. Not surprising, given the highly charged nature of the subject. I highly recommend Ray Madoff's book The Second Estate [1] to learn more about the topic. [1] https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/S/bo256019...

Slate Money 播客的“Money Talks”系列最近有一期采访了新书《第二等级》的作者雷·马多夫。听起来挺有意思的——在我看来完全可以再聊长一点——我很喜欢里面关于美国遗产税历史的探讨，以及它很大程度上是如何因政治不作为而沦为摆设的……
