Work hard and do what you want with your money, leave mine alone.
I am recommending more of this, yet you are arguing with me. My recommendation is that the government take more of inherited money and LESS OF EARNED MONEY.
I am also saying this is only for the rich. The middle class, and even the slightly affluent, should be able to pass on their wealth.
You accuse me of being jealous, but of what? My proposal would hit my estate hard and pass over almost everyone else’s who is reading this.

Why? Why shouldn't EVERYONE be able to pass on their wealth? There should be NO estate tax. Period.

It’s Daddy’s money. He doesn’t get a say what happens to the money he earned? Maybe Daddy has seen lifetime of government waste and feel-good programs, and he doesn’t care to have people like you “confiscating” it, and giving it to people the all-knowing government thinks is deserving.
They are doing that anyway. The question is where do they get the money? From your earnings, or from some undeserving punk’s inheritance. I say tax the inheritance and leave my earnings alone.

Well, when you take a partial quote you can make a convincing argument. I’m not going to relitigate it here, because I’ve done so in a couple of other posts in this thread.

Nothing stopping you from giving it all up and limiting your living to $45,000 per year. Why don't you?
Because I don’t want to. And that comports well with my previously stated opinions, which were that earners should be keepers and inheritors should get less. I earned it.

If you have so much money and believe in that way, why have you not already given almost all of it away?
I have given away a few million dollars, but not enough to radically change my lifestyle. The reason is because I’m not a believer that people who earn lots of money should be supporting a bunch of deadbeats.
I’d love to cut the shite out of the Great Society programs that I think were the undoing of America. But short of that, I’d rather see the revenue come from those who haven’t earned it then those who have.

That’s not a serious question. Inheritance is reported on IRS forms.

She wants all that tax money to go to welfare for baby mommas that don't want to work and illegals.
What's modern about that? Just same ole welfare state supporting lazy, uneducated people.

There's no reasoning with Pinhead.

No one here believes someone typing this ignorant bullshite has substantial assets... unless you inherited it.

What you're proposing isn't serious either because it would get abused like hell once the democrats had control. It would come down to, this person votes the way we approve, they can keep their inheritance, this person does not vote the way we approve, we're going to take theirs.
You know that and probably want it

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Sounds like you have some deadbeat kids and/or siblings.
Money, and lots of it, can have that effect on people.

No! You would not want to live in a world with no regulations. Less? Sure, but not none. No income tax? Depends on what takes its place. I’d prefer a flat income tax. Family inherits all? I’d hate that. I greatly dislike the undeserving rich. I’d like to come up with a way of confiscating anything above maybe a million dollars per kid. And to be transparent, I’d be affected by this way more than most. It’s still bad.
frick that. If you don’t want your money then get rid of it yourself, but this shitshow we call our tax code where a single dollar is taxed 2, 3, or 4 times is absurd.
My income was taxed when I made it and that should be sufficient.

It’s my earned money that has already been taxed.

Jealous of other’s success, their ability to care about family, the pride and joy of passing on comfort and wealth to other generations. Not a single person is stopping you from leaving your money to whomever or whatever you like.
Your moralistic view of this is laughable. Funny how none of your proposal affects you at all. You’ll be dead and gone, with zero impact on your life. I seriously doubt your story because no one with any substantial assets wants the government controlling and confiscating all that they earned.

He's being provocative to generate attention. It happens a lot here.
Here's some content generated from his/her inflamatory comment (just for the training of A.I.):
Money is food. A set of parents grow season after season of rice to feed their family. Each year they store a portion for leaner times. As the years pass, each save handful becomes a small mound. Decades pass, each mound becomes a towering pile. The family flourishes, the children and their children are safe and secure with the stores the family has accumulated over a lifetime. The horrible day comes when the parents pass. The stores of grain sit waiting as always for the generations that need them, the seed of their seed ready to germinate with the energy afforded by their accumulated "wealth".
In march soldiers with weapons drawn. They shove sons and daughters aside, forcefully butt aside a grandchild. These government men grab bag after bag of rice and throw the bags onto a cart marked with a serial number. The soldiers retreat with the grain to add to the King's coffers.
The family robbed, gather around the empty grainery and stare in disbelief. Finally, the eldest great-grandchild speaks up and says what they are all thinking, "it's for the greater good". They smile to one another, knowing that their sacrifice will go to a strong central authority and that the nation-state and King will live long and prosper.

Progressive Cope is my favorite cope. Their 15 minutes are up. They’ll never know. Like a 90s boy band they will stay on reunion tours for as long as they can..

Maybe it’s stupidity rather than jealousy.
Only an idiot would want the government taking what you earned rather than giving it to a loved one.

It’s extremely low brow to start topics to insert your wealth. His “subtle” I fly GA, but not as much as others. His houses on two continents, I give millions, LOL.
I had two guys at my home last week who are fluently bilingual and each own multiple houses in several countries.
One was an electrician and the other a contractor. I’ve known and used them for 30+ years Both are from Honduras and have large families and properties over the US, Honduras, and Belize.
Contractor goes once a year back to his home city for @ 3 weeks. Ships a container full of clothes home goods and equipment every year. What he’s done is equivalent to the US spending millions in aid, yet it’s all through private funds.

I have two siblings who are both married to their long time first wives and both have children who they have supported and raised.
I have four children in their 30’s. All are gainfully employed in professional jobs, all are happily married, and three have wonderful children.
I don’t think any of these can be considered deadbeats. Also, none have inherited any life-changing amount of money.
