    US estate taxes help maintain the primary residence of Joe and Jill - they help fund staffing for the Whitehouse.

    I agree that these situations are quite different but that article title was outrageously sensationalist and vague.

      Sure. That’s normal. But they’re not renting out the Whitehouse and putting the proceeds into their personal bank accounts as private income.
