No I was ranting with specificity about the immorality of death taxation. 
I certainly could rant about high taxation in general because confiscatory
taxes of any kind are immoral, however estate taxes were and are
specifically meant to be confiscatory and income taxes haven't been at
absolutely for sure confiscatory levels since Reagan, although they
continue to hover at near confiscatory rates.
