I think they more or less make sense, but they're not the most pressing issue in our tax structure today. The high corporate tax rate that essentially mandates all large companies move out of the US is a much bigger issue and should be addressed before worrying about the estate, income and capital gains taxes one way or the other.

I wouldn't mind higher taxes if I actually felt they were going to be used to good means. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case much of the time.
