Now, when you sell it, if you make a profit, that profit & principal is taxed.
How about the estate tax.

If you make your living buying and selling, the profit you make from those sales is your income. that income is taxed. Where the money came from to make the purchase is irrelevant.
...and should be taxed at the income rate, not the capital gains rate?
