> I'm not sure why everyone thinks it's fair the government should get paid when a citizen dies.

I'd argue that it's even less fair that the government feels it's entitled to a percentage of your income. Taking money from a dead person doesn't seem as bad as taking money from a living person.

Nobody likes taxes, but they have been a part of society for several thousand years.
