Why should that family have to pay for the roads twice?...once when your neighbor's parents earned the money, and a second time when your neighbor's parents die...just because they chose to save the money rather than spend it at the local casino? The estate tax is a tax on families, and it punishes savings...and it punishes farmers (whose inheritance is tied up in land and very expensive equipment) and people in like circumstances...they have to sell off their inheritance to pay the tax. Not fair. Just tax once and be done. Taxing the neighbor twice, and you once is not fair.
