The proposal only targeted holdings over $100 million.
I didn't know you were rolling in that territory.


On the serious side, this was obviously an ill-wrought effort to more effectively tax überwealthy folks like Bezos, Buffett, etc. who continue to build massive assets without any tax exposure.

As one example, a billionaire can allow his assets to accumulate untaxed as collateral while he takes out low interest loans against those holdings to fund his lifestyle. The loans are not taxable. Their interest-rate is a far lower cost than taxes on the same amount would run. Designing effective tax laws to capture that money without undercutting more "legitimate" borrowing is a daunting task.

That was one of the reasons Musk cashing out of billions in Tesla stock this past year was so extraordinary. In cashing out rather than lending himself the money, he deliberately incurred billions in tax liability that he needn't otherwise have ever paid.

A more easily correctable tax avoidance scheme centers on our idiotic philanthropy loopholes. E.g., Barely a penny of Buffett's $126Bn estate will be taxed at his death. Nor necessarily will even 1¢ of that $126Billion go to aiding impoverished Americans, or to charitable causes in this country. It will be channelled, untaxed, into the Gates Foundation which like the Clinton Foundation, can do nearly anything it wants with its money. That could be and should be addressed and changed. Further, if philanthropy is to avoid US taxation, it should be required to target US charities. That bit seems like common sense.

The income tax was only for the top 1% when initially enacted.

Many people I know had no idea how this works. Converting their assets into low interest loans shields them from tax liability. In essence, the banks fund their lifestyles.

Isn't the money with which they pay back the loan taxed previously?

Really? You want to engage in dialogue against things you actually voted for?

The problem is the inability to take you seriously.

K1s are issued for partnerships and S-corps. Any retained earnings would still be earnings and you would have full access to those funds. Do you think an unrealized gain is the same thing as a retained earning in a pass through entity?

Why should death be a taxable event.

Any distributions from a private foundation must go to a charity. If they aren’t then that should be investigated. Also the foundation must distribute 5% of the principle annually.
