You're thinking of the Estate Tax. He thinks that shouldn't exist. Not sure which roads we would drive on if all taxes were abolished... the ones we build ourselves? Or maybe we just print enough money to render taxes obsolete... we're on that path now.

"By the way, when I say cut taxes, I don't mean fiddle with the code. I mean abolish the income tax and the IRS, and replace them with nothing." -Ron Paul

His argument:

"Even today, individual income taxes account for only approximately one-third of federal revenue. Eliminating one-third of the proposed 2007 budget would still leave federal spending at roughly $1.8 trillion-- a sum greater than the budget just 6 years ago in 2000! Does anyone seriously believe we could not find ways to cut spending back to 2000 levels? Perhaps the idea of an America without an income tax is not so radical after all."
