It's a tax on the estate. It taxes old money

:comeon:i know its the estate tax. thats a semantic argument. its a stupid tax with enough loopholes to use in order to avoid anyway. there are other ways to get at their money rather than saying "oh u died, gimme my cut". the government acts like the eldest child of a family under that.

philosophically im against the concept. again, tax the people more beforehand. taxing a dead person makes no sense to me.

We try to make some sense of taxes like there is some inherently moral center but really it's like some mafia shyt. You makin dough on my turf? Pay up. So if you sell some shyt, buy some shyt, inheret some shyt, grow some shyt, own some shyt: they comin like "nice whip. Let me get my beak wet"

I read on another board that Lindsay Graham is just using this as a platform to get a cabinet seat as Secretary of Defense.

Makes sense given his responses.

Eh, I disagree with how you're looking at it. For the moment it's one of the only effective ways to force these guys to pay what they owe given all the loopholes in capital gains, overseas stashes, etc. if we could enforce taxes better I could agree with you
