269. You have very fundamental misunderstandings of these taxes.
And taxation in general.

Estate taxes (beyond the massive exemption amount) mostly consist of untaxed capital gains which only become taxable upon transfer of wealth (at death, to the heirs).

Dividends are not "double taxation", they are income which is subject to multiple jurisdictions, just like your real property is subject to multiple jurisdiction and your wage income.
