I have been fortunate in my life, hard work and proper choices with a little bit of luck here and there have made me very comfortable, but I do not plan on leaving much of anything for the government get their hands on. If I spend my last dollar on the day I die, I would call that good planning.
Also Shaps, there is no way the tax rate would have to be 25% if everyone payed, more like 15%, but as you pointed out, it will never happen.
