Only, there some exceptions. The OECD pointed fingers at a small group of countries where the changes have favored high income groups. Among them, Canada and the US. While Canada was lumped together with Australia, Germany, Iceland, Ireland and Luxembourg, the US was singled out.

Just hours after the news of Anna Nicole Smith’s suspicious death broke, there were already questions about the status of her deceased husband’s estate. The main query was whether the case could proceed. The short answer is yes, that absolutely it can proceed. In fact, the executor of her estate (who many people assume will be her boyfriend and lawyer, Howard Stern, though this has not been confirmed) has an obligation to pursue any outstanding claims on her behalf.
