Why should the guy down the street be taxed when he dies and you arent taxed when you die?


The question in the first place is why should anyone inherit anything that they didn't work for? Something for nothing, is that what you're arguing for?

They cant.

Now you're just being ridiculous. I'm pretty sure anyone in the 1% can petition the government - aka pay off politicians - to air their grievances while they're still alive. The thing is, most people in that tax bracket have enough money to pay accountants and tax attorneys to get around major tax expenditures. Look at how Trump's father transferred wealth to Donald that he never earned, and didn't have to pay inheritance tax on. The dead person in the OP either made a mistake, or just didn't GAF.

It is their property.

Why shouldn’t someone be allowed to give their own property to whomever they wish?
