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.

To be slightly more specific, bleeding productive people dry.

Greed. Nothing but. Govt and Greed are like eggs and bacon.

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.

None of what you describes is part of a zero-sum economic policy. and you fundamentally don't understand how tax policies and subsidies work.

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?
