    The estate tax, as we know it now, came into being in 1916. The same idea was tried a couple times during the 19th century, but were quickly repealed.

The economy did much better afterward.

                I'm curious how the trial and death threats affected him. I would imagine I would be on edge knowing someone could be waiting to kill me for being found not guilty.

                  Sometime a guy is just an a-hole. One event may or may not be related to another, in terms of what type of person he is. Meaning, he may very well have been in the right for the previous case, and totally in the wrong in this case.

                    Or he's a homicidal lunatic, he murdered someone, he got away with it, and as long as he's above ground he'll just keep on keepin' on.

                      I completely agree. I'm just curious if he was this big of an a-hole before the threats. Or if he has gone off the deep end since.

                        That's a good question. I'm sure things changed him to a point. It's a matter of how much.

                          He had violent run-ins before he shot the kid. He simply appears to be unstable or a complete pr!ck.

                              Hogwash. He was a choir boy before. Trayvon Martin and the liberal police force, prosecution and media turned him into a psychopath. Before this he helped little old ladies across the street and volunteered at the animal shelter to care for puppies and kittens.
