But this is moot, since the simple point is that society has every reason and right to determine the ways in which the property that once belonged to a dead person should be handled after their deaths.

If you think there is a policy reason for not having an estate tax, argue it based on economic policy, not some assesine assertion of rights for the dead - heck, if they "pay taxes", shouldn't the dead get to vote as well?
