MORE PUNISHMENT Arm the officials with police batons and stun guns. If players violate the rules (which should be as vague as possible), they should be handcuffed and forced into excruciatingly uncomfortable positions.

The answer to the first question is an unqualified yes. As it is currently implemented, the estate tax earned $24.6 billion in fiscal year 2000--no trivial sum. Regarding the second question, for those Americans who pay the estate tax, the tax burden is not as serious as some of the rhetoric makes it out to be. It is assumed, after all, that inheritors do not rely upon the deaths of relatives and friends as their sole...
