@wildgrass saidInheritance is bad. So what happens to the $40 million that Uncle Albert has at his death, that he has built for all his life. And before you answer, note that Marauder just said 'its his money, he can do whatever he wants to with it'
It's well known that giving people large, unearned sums of money causes harm by eroding motivation, promoting entitlement, causing financial mismanagement, and creating family conflict.
Inheritance is bad and should be taxed to the max.

We must end welfare immediately!
@AverageJoe1 saidI agree with marauder. But if uncle Albert gives it to his kids, it should be taxed to the bejeezus. Because that sets up his kids for a life of laziness and squalor. From an economic standpoint, it's better to tax inheritance than regular income.

@Earl-of-Trumps saidI mean, people gotta eat. This millions of inheritance is a bit different than $150 a month for food.

But yeah, giving people money is not good for them. Compare the level of cleaniless and care in a car that was purchased through hardwork vs. daddy's inheritance.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidBeats throwing it away on a really "demented old fool" who can't be elected again.
Yes but he THREW IT AWAY ON BIDEN , IDIOT.
Now his kids have nothing.
"Now his kids have nothing."
Now you're sounding like AvJoe.
Why is it always white people crying because they're not rich? Or putting each other down for not being rich? Grow TF up, man.
@Earl-of-Trumps saidOnly you would call welfare "large".

@wildgrass saidIt's just another example of our present tax system favoring non-work by the wealthy.
I agree with marauder. But if uncle Albert gives it to his kids, it should be taxed to the bejeezus. Because that sets up his kids for a life of laziness and squalor. From an economic standpoint, it's better to tax inheritance than regular income.
I've always proposed that inheritances should be taxed as regular income to the beneficiaries after some exemption of say, $25,000 or $50,000.
@wildgrass saidWho would pay the tax? The tax receipt would be used by whom for what? Would it be paid to people on welfare? Would those people have no incentive to be productive, to work, to be self-reliant? What good what any of that do.

I have an idea. Start from scratch, govt pays for support of the 40M indigent people. Then everyone is free to live their lives however they want to. Pay just enough taxes to support the indigent welfare, and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Not that hard. But you libs cannot fathom what I am talking about, can you?

@AverageJoe1
Why is the USA the only country highlighted day in and day out for our accomplishments? We just put the 5th American Flag on the f'n moon. There are no other flags there, and one of you just wrote that China is right up in the ranks of America! Right. But you live where?
I think I will go spend some big-time money before you get it.

@AverageJoe1 saidI guess that $1.5 trillion a year you want spent on a war machine wouldn't happen then, right?

@no1marauder saidWar? Are you so shallow-minded? Consider that the funding covers deterrence, alliance and global stability, as well. Like, if the USA did not have a military, China wojld gobble up the Netherlands and Romania in a hearbeat, and anything else they want.

The real question is how to spend smarter while keeping the USA (and the world for that matter) secure. Your European friends love us, Marauder. Love-hate, if you will. They cant live with us, but, man, they sure can't live without us.
Be careful what you pacifists wish for. YOU are a pacifist.
@no1marauder saidThis response of yours is to my above post...(who would pay the tax). I don't know what this means. Of course we will always and forever pay taxes , a portion of which is to fund the military, and to pay the light bill at the US Capitol. And other sundry things.
I guess that $1.5 trillion a year you want spent on a war machine wouldn't happen then, right?
So to answer this really cheeky post of yours, the $1.5 M would indeed b e collected from taxpayers, for reasons I just wrote.
So cheeeeky.
