The interest earned on savings bonds is exempt from all state and local income tax and is deferred for federal income tax until sale or maturity.
If you inherit something like a tax-sheltered account, you may owe income taxes when you make withdrawals from the account. Examples are a traditional IRA or a 401k. If you inherit property that has gone up in value since the date of death, you may have to pay tax on the increase in value when you sell it. If you inherit US Savings Bonds on which the previous owner has not been paying taxes annually, you may owe income tax on the interest when you cash them in. If you inherit corporate bonds, you may have to pay income tax on any interest payments after the date of death. But, in general, you do not owe income taxes on an inheritance.
You don't pay tax on the tax-free pay and you do pay tax on taxable income

You don't have to pay income tax on money. You may have to pay income tax if you receive property that has increased in value since your aunt died. You would pay tax on the profit when you sell it. You may have to pay income tax when you take withdrawals from a tax-deferred account you inherited from your aunt (such as a traditional IRA or 401k). You may have to pay income tax on the interest from US Savings Bonds you inherited. Some states impose an inheritance tax (which is different from an income tax). You may have to pay an inheritance tax. If the estate failed to pay any tax that might be due before distributing property to you, the IRS may come looking to you to recover some of the property.
No. Gifts to any of of the family members are not deductible on your income tax return.
US Savings bonds are obligations of the US government. Interest paid on these bonds is exempt from state and local income taxes. Savings Bonds are not negotiable instruments, and cannot be transferred to anyone at will. They can be transferred in limited circumstances, and there could be tax consequences at the time of transfer.

The wealthy do pay income tax, and since the wealthy have more income, they must pay more money in income tax.
Upon maturity the Series EE savings bond stops paying interest which brings up an interesting option for holders of matured savings bonds. Since the banks are paying close to zero on savings there is really no financial penalty for holding the Series EE bonds past the maturity date. In addition, federal tax on the interest earned on the savings bonds are not due until the bonds are actually cashed in which gives the holder the flexibility of shifting income to a particular year. For someone nearing retirement and holding Series EE bonds which have matured it would probably make sense to hold off on cashing in the bonds until retirement when the bond holder would probably have lower income and thus a lower tax rate.

The interest earned on your savings bonds is subject to federal income tax, which can be deferred until redemption, final maturity, or other taxable disposition, whichever occurs first. Savings bonds are subject to estate, inheritance, gift, or other excise taxes, whether federal or state. (Basically, that will be the difference between your purcahse price and the redemption amount. You will receive a 1099-INT for this).
all people pay income tax.
