US citizenship/GC seekers -do you really love your children?

[TheRealCanadian]

And if you want to talk about family values, I wouldn't want my children to just loaf around and live off of millions they didn't work for, and if I had millions I wouldn't give them so much to enable them to be like that.

That's your choice and I respect it. America is based on the principle that the state should not be in the business of forcing those choices on everyone.

I'm still confused as to whether estate tax is constitutional. It is neither apportioned between the states nor is it a tax on income.

I don't think dead people have constitutional rights.

It's not a question of whether the dead have the right not to have their estate taxed, it's whether Congress has the power to levy the tax in the first place.

Yes, congress has that power. It is treated as a gift.
