The Death Tax

I used to think that the death tax was relatively irrelevant, when compared to taxes on investment like the corporate tax or the capital gains tax. These videos show, however, that the death tax is a huge tax on small business and investment which brings in very little revenue to the state.

Well the Ottomans used to tax murder. And it did keep the reported murder rate low as villages buried the victims in secret and kept quiet in order to evade the tax.
