Yep, and everyone on here will be giddy for the Dems to win the senate in the runoffs. Because you hate when normal people build wealth through a lifetime of saving. You only support inherited wealth for some reason. Boggles my mind.

From the article:

"A 2013 Federal Reserve study estimated that 55 percent of the value of estates larger than $100 million consists of capital gains that have never been taxed — and may never be."

property that has never been sold and therefore never paid


Nov 8, 2020, 3:09 PM

tax on the gains will still be subject to capital gains taxes when the property is sold. As it should. In the mean time, except in calif, property taxes goes up every few years and taxes are being paid on those assets.

Any gains in the stock market are paid every year.

In any case, the purpose of the estate tax is not to tax


Nov 8, 2020, 3:34 PM

previously untaxed gains, it is to keep generational wealth from building up in the hands of a few and leading to greater wealth inequality.

Neal,

I have never understood this "money that has already been taxed" argument. All money is taxed more than once. I pay my federal income tax through withholdings. Then I pay state tax on it, too When I spend what is left on a house or car, I pay property tax. If I buy other stuff, I pay sales tax. When I buy gas, I pay a gas tax.

So all money is taxed more than once. Why should rich people be exempt from being taxed more than once ?

They pay all the same taxes that you just mentioned.

What Tobias said, with the addition of: Money doesn't get taxed. People do. A beneficiary who receives income through a will is one person. The dead person is another.

Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.
- Jonathan Swift


There is no sane way to rationalize the proposal


Nov 8, 2020, 4:56 PM [ in reply to Who supports inherited wealth again? ]

that a person cannot give his/her property to someone else, that such a gift triggers govt ownership.

If you give me a gift of $1000, I have to pay tax on it.

The gift tax applies to the transfer by gift of any property. You make a gift if you give property (including money), or the use of or income from property, without expecting to receive something of at least equal value in return.




What difference does it make if that gift was predicated upon your death
