Money is _always_ "double taxed". Some people seems to have a problem with the 
fact, but the very nature of money and taxation means that money is taxed 
again and again. There is no such thing as new un-taxed money, they are taxed 
every time they change hands (income, sales) and sometimes when they just 
spend too much time in the same hands, so why not on inheritence?
