Cite for that 97% figure?

I was under the impression there's a large exemption for inheritances under a few million and then it's still a number lower than income tax on the rest.

Philosophically, you don't own anything after you're dead. Someone else, alive, is getting income in the form of an inheritance.

Of course 97% is nonsense. And $11.7M per family is completely untaxed, something the billionaires pushing for an end to inheritance tax do an amazing job of obfuscating.
