A few thousand dollars every year. Why should I not enjoy that money I worked for. You certainly enjyo the money you get from your employer - and if you were to die your last paycheck would be delivered to your next of kin.
I have not seen anyone suggest that it shouldn't extend a little past death, assuming it's early. Most suggestions I see(That aren't for abolishing it) are along the lines of 10-20 years, or life + 5/10 years, whichever is shorter.
How many employers would pay your spouse/kids even one year after you die? That's what life insurance is for.
