Plenty examples of double taxation but this was the priority, how many taxpayers are impacted, 4000?
Besides it’s a tax for transfers over $5M, maybe you have some details on the families impacted.

I don't need any details on the families impacted. There is no justification for double taxation on inheritances.

The assets changed hands. That is a taxable transaction. This change to the amount of the exemption does not change that basic fact.

If it’s because of that reason, we need to do it across the board.

Let’s tax the the guy with the mimimum wage job that inherits his mkms car. That would be fair, correct? That’s what you want.

He is subject to the exact same tax. Do people with lower income benefit more from the standard deduction? Same thing, just bigger numbers at play.

So you think if you inherit your parents home on their death and its valued at say 250,000 you should have to pay around 25% taxes assuming you are middle class as your parents with their 250,000 home?

Get real.

It's exactly the same. It just falls below the standard deduction of 5million.

This is how a progressive tax system like ours works.

So, what effective tax rate would a person inheriting a $1500 car pay?
