We would have much more serious problems than the estate tax if we had direct democracy. In the U.S., evolution would not be taught in schools, and we would have the Christian equivalent of sharia law. Atheists would be fired from their jobs, and sent to concentration camps.

"A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence."
