So you don't think that the money earned by these rich people wasn't taxed already? This may come as a shocker, but rich people pay income tax too.
The people who get this will pay zero percent in inheritance tax while you will pay 20-30 or maybe 40% on your income (both through payroll, income or sales tax). These people who did nothing to earn this wealth are laughing at people who defend this injustice. I simply dont get how ordinary working stiffs who are struggling to get by support people who laugh in their face.
Exactly, so why are you against equal opportunities? People inheriting billions tax free while other living in the gutter with drug addicted parents is not equal opportunities.
Why support a tiny elite who didnt work for their money steamrolling over ordinary folks who have to pay taxes on everything they earn?
First of all, if someone inherits "billions", they do pay taxes on that. Secondly, life just isn't fair. It never has been and never will be.
A person gets free money for doing nothing other than being born to a wealthy family while regular, working class folks have to pay taxes on the income from the WORK THEY DO!
Its mind boggling to me how members of the 99% support turning America into a third world plutocracy with a tiny economic royalist elite at the top.
People in middle and lower class also get "free money" for doing nothing other than being born. You think they should be taxed on that? Even if someone is left only $500 - you think the government should get a portion of it just to screw people who get billions?
The absurdity of the "monetary" system has many absurdities built into it. People only have "excess" because the entire system is designed only to reward exploitation of one another. It has nothing to do with exchanges with one another. If we made exchanges with, rather than exploiting, one another, no one could accumulate more than they have given others. All exchanges would result in a net "profit" of zero. But we are predatory animals, not human beings.
As for parasites who live off of usury of fortunes created by usury, they are just parasites and have no place in the gene pool...

Nope, the inheritance tax will be eliminated if right wing extremists get their will. And several working stiffs earning $30-40 000 a year support this!
America should be unfair? What kind of nonsense argument is that? No, it should not be even more unfair than it is, by eliminating the inheritance tax which will make sure it will be even easier for the tiny elite of economic royalists to buy your politician and rig the economy even further.
A few hundred super rich families fund 70% of the political campaigns in America now. They have you by the balls. And you want them to squeeze your balls a little harder? Its mind boggling to me.
We apply Income tax on Lottery winners. Why not apply it to inheritors that have won life's lottery by choosing wealthy parents?
I think we should have an income tax based on all income from all sources with a base deductible set at the 90th percentile. That way 90% of us would pay no income tax and inheritors and lottery winners would be able to deduct the first 200 Grand or so.
