Oprah Winfrey quote

"I think it's so irritating that once I die, 55 percent of my money goes to the United States government . . . You know why that's so irritating? Because you already have paid nearly 50 percent. . . . when you leave like a house or you leave money to people, then they're taxed 55 percent, so you've got to leave them enough so that once they're taxed, they still have some money. . . . That's why you always hear about people where their aunts left them houses or left them stuff and they can't keep the house because the taxes are so much."
--Oprah Winfrey, 8/4/97, Oprah, Harpo Productions
