My mother fought the government on those taxes when we were young. Not sure if they ever changed the law, but it is one of the most ridiculous cash grabs I have ever seen by the governement.

Its the same deal when you inherit money. That money has already been taxed but when you inherit it, you pay tax on it again. Its a very stupid rule.
