Then abolish inheritance taxes so that people can actually pass things on to their descendants.

Taxing inheritance is just about the biggest load of horse shit in existence. There is zero justification. It's the handing off of the family torch. The government has NO fucking right to any portion of it. The money was already fucking taxed when it was earned the first time. There's no reason to double dip.

Hell, so is sales tax. You're already taxed when you get the money, why the fuck does it get taxed AGAIN when you buy shit? The government would be much more careful about wasting funds if they didn't get away with just this constant absurd flow from bleeding people dry.

Maybe not even taxed once, multiple times, in different jurisdictions

unfortunately they wouldn't be more careful about funds. they were just print more, which is stealing from the rest of us in a roundabout way.

what really needs to happen is 90% of government institutions need to be gutted, it's way more bloated than it was ever meant to be.

So, let me get this straight. The rest of society funds everything for families, so they can then hoard that wealth from everyone else, with no hint of irony about their own parasitism?

Yea but I’m not entitled to someone’s wealth. If somebody wants to pass on money to children then fine.

But they seem to think they're entitled to ours, with their constant push to tax us higher because we don't have kids.

Why the fuck should we just take it? We should declare them our enemy and unite to get back what's ours.

There is no such thing as "Hoarding Wealth", that's communist speak. It's the voice of envy.

Just because one person has more doesn't mean anyone else has less due to that. A thriving economy isn't a zero-sum game where one person's gain must equal another's loss, because wealth, goods, and services can be created.

It's not envy. We fucking funded the existence of the children they couldn't afford to have. At the very fucking least, they should pay back society.

But it is a zero sum game. Taxes are increased in targeted ways to attack those without families, on the demand of those with families. It stopped being fair when they started deliberately targeting us out of spite. Now we deserve a refund.

I don't know what pot you're smoking, but everything in my life has been taxed. I do enjoy some public benefits like parks and roads, but the cost of upkeep for those is a fraction of a percent of what I've paid into the feds.

Families are around 50% of the total welfare burden.

Why do we have to fund people having kids they can't afford?

They will abolish inheritance taxes as soon as they’ve finished redistributing all the wealth from whites to nons.

According to my quick googling, you start paying inheritance taxes from the moment you inherit 14 million dollars. That's several homes.

So, it's not just inheritance tax that is the problem. When my grandpa needed to go into a home, the home tried to steal my grandmas house. They got angry she wouldn't sign anything without another person with her. They tried to convince her that the home she was living in, and had her name on the deed since it was purchased wasn't hers.

That's not even inheriting a home. That was her fucking house, and the homes for elder care have policies and procedures to steal the houses of spouses. The laws are on their side with Medicare. To keep anything it has to be given away YEARS before the elderly person revive a care or the government will claw it back. This goes for homes, and money.

Why? The guy suggested that inheritance taxes are 'preventing' people from passing things to their descendants.

Gotta admire the hustle of the very wealthy, who persuaded common people to become 'allies' to them the way leftists are to blacks and trannies.

Ever heard of fiscal drag? You should, you live near the UK.

An astronomical figure is eligible for tax in 1950.

By 2000 everyone is earning that much, and the tax isn’t adjusted or going away.

That’s inheritance taxes by 2050.

>Inherit family business
>Has more than $14m in assets on paper
>Government demands 40%
>Forces you to sell the business to pay them

This is the main problem with inheritance taxes. They're a way of transferring wealth from the people who built it to the corporate donors of the politicians who won't abolish them.

That is a problem. That said, I don't sympathize much with a filthy rich billionaire banker who has $2 billion in liquid stocks.

– ernsithe 2 points 162 days ago +2 / -0

Yeah. I've got mixed feelings on it. On one hand, you should be able to pass down what you make to your children. It rewards merit because providing for your family is a powerful incentive. But on the other hand, it's removes merit-based rewards for their descendants. I resolve the disagreement by considering that the government has no business making a decision about that question one way or another.

Besides the rich billionaire you talk about dodges this shit anyway He'd put the ownership of the $2b of stocks in a trust or foundation or something and then just appoint the beneficiary as the CEO. "No money changed hands, someone else is just running this entity now."

Did you not bother reading the title of the post?

The premise here is not letting home values go down. It literally doesn't matter where it's set in that circumstance because you will get there anyway under that premise.

I read it as you endorsing standard GOPe dogma with Trump's latest ravings as a justification. I'm glad if I was wrong about that.

It's the one way the stupid family losers pay back society. No. It should be increased to 50% in accordance with the burden families are on the superior single and childless.

If we locked inheritance tax to be at the percentage of welfare expenditure that goes to families, it would force either change or higher tax revenues from a parasite class.

He should become a stand-up comedian.

Woman want to kill me.

[laughter]

No, I'm serious. They are.

[laughter]

Remember when there was a virus created by women to kill men, and then women created a vaccine to kill more men?

[laughter]

Yeah, that's why I call them the Enemy Gender or the Nazi Gender. Their lives are consumed by trying to kill men.
