Gift Tax is another example of how our Government is set to punishes us for helping others, If family wants to help other family members, it sure as hell isnt in the constitition that its any of the governments business!

The "gift tax" is a limit on a tax shelter, not a punishment for helping others. In fact, many charitable gifts are deductible.
the problem with "charitable gifts" is also a brainwashing of society. For example, can you point out one charity that really helps others, who doesnt take the lions share of the donations by paying them $600k - $1million annually as the ceo of that charity". In other words, rich people cant even help poor people because poor people dont have a 501c charitible receipt they can give them, so the only option is to give to charity's whose owners are already millionaires.... its the same mentality we see with the corruption on wall st. and our government. really its infiltrated nearly every level of society.
