inheritance taxes are just mafia theft, no matter how you rationalize it




Well, everyone is member of this mafia. The problem is that lowest on the totem pole are not served by it.

According to many on this site. All taxation is theft. This desensitize me to this argument.

According to many on this site. All taxation on their 500k salary and 3mil in stock is theft.

According to the same people. Passing $1mil to your children is immoral and should be banned.

I suspect they love expensive shiny things and hate their children.


The (actual and would be) aristocracy loves this take.

its actually grave robbing, the person is litterally dead.

If I was nearing the end and I knew the state would be taking all of my assets upon expiry, I would make sure to go out with a bang if you catch my meaning. A few million could buy a lot of bang.

They'll have an epidemic of geriatric domestic terrorists on their hands.
