Again, stop saying how much money it is because that is entirely irrelevant. The point is that they are being forced to pay money because someone died. You are literally steeling from someone who is suffering from the death of a loved one.

It's not irrelevant. Opponents of the "death" tax like to perpetuate the idea that this affects more people than it does. The vast majority of Americans would not be affected by it. And you're not being forced to pay money, because you didn't earn the money. adjl already explained it. You're receiving less money for their death. It's not like you're having to pay money you already received.

Dikitain posted...

And it is funny that you mention profiting off the death of a loved one when you want the government to do that exact thing. "Hey, congratulations that you happened to have someone die while they lived inside your borders, TAKE THEIR MONEY!!!"

I only brought it up because someone tried to play the card that I was sick and selfish for wanting the government to get money from the death of a loved one. I was pointing out that it works both ways, because you could just as easily argue that wanting to profit off of a relative's death can also be seen as sick and selfish.

Dikitain posted...

And I haven't even begun to argue the fact that this tax literally only accounts for 1/1000 of the national revenue per year, or that there are so many loopholes that they don't even get money from anyone smart enough to hire a good accountant to handle the assets of the estate (Like the Walton's) costing them upwards of 5 billion per year in lost revenue (which is the same amount that they make from it).

1/1000 of the national revenue per year is actually a great deal of money. I don't see that as an issue.

I wonder if he's aware that he's doing more to harm the cause than help it.

Can you elaborate? I'm genuinely curious, and have no idea what your talking about. What cause? People hate his new show? What harm is he doing?

Generally speaking, the cause would be scientific literacy, but more specifically, he fights against climate change denialists. The show has been largely panned as condescending towards those who are skeptical of science, ridiculously cringeworthy in its attempts at humor, and filled with SJW propoganda such as talk about how gender is on a spectrum. The show has abysmal reviews. He's made himself an absolute joke in one fell swoop and has damaged scientific literacy with the show as conservatives can point to this show and accuse it of being blatant and crass propaganda, and they have a point.

When your father dies, would you like someone to come up to you and say "Pay me money, your father died"?

My father does not have anywhere near five million dollars and if he did I'd understand the law and accept some of my inheritance being taken in tax. I'm not entitled to every last penny of money that I didn't even earn.

I guess it's possible I'd see it differently if I was due for millions in inheritance, but it'd be more out of greed than any rationale.

So you are fine with people being charged money for having a relative die?

You are a truly sick and selfish person.

See, the constant use of this kind of misleading framing is one of the reasons I so fervently support it. The opposition has to resort to such shitty tactics because their arguments don't stand.

How else is there a way to explain it? You are forcing people to pay money because someone they cared about died. Doesn't matter if that person has 1 dollar or 1 trillion, that is exactly what an estate tax is.

No it isn't. The way you're talking is misleading. It paints the picture that these people are going to have whatever money they've earned that's sitting in their bank accounts taken from them because a relative happened to die. That's not the case. Some of the money from the FIVE MILLION dollar inheritance that they will eventually receive is being taken. You act like they money they actually worked for is being taken. It's not.

And you think I'm sick and selfish? Because I could certainly frame being so adamant about profiting every last cent off of your loved one's death is the sick and selfish thing. People who eagerly wait for their rich relatives die to be handed their entire fortune for nothing is what's sick and selfish.

Won't somebody think of the rich!?

Won't somebody think of those spoiled brats who have had mommy and daddy pay their way through life? Now they're getting less of an inheritance! The horror!

Again, the people most affected aren't the rich, but instead working-class Americans. Pretty much every new tax is advertised as trying screw the rich but instead it hits the everybody else a lot harder because they haven't as much money to throw around in the first place. However, the myth of going after the rich is popular because it taps into innate envy and jealousy. "How dare they have that money! They couldn't possibly have done anything to earn it!"

Most working-class Americans don't have a 5.5 million dollar estate.

And no, the children receiving the inheritance didn't do anything to get the money. They just had the good fortune of spawning from the genitalia of a wealthy person.

Estate tax is a good tax. First off, they don't even tax the first several million dollars, so it only even hits the ultra wealthy. The estate tax will never effect 99% of this board, and that's an underestimate, if anything. And it helps limit how much of a giant leg up wealthy families can pass on to prevent a permanent nobility (well, restrict it...we definitely still have a permanent nobility).

Also, nearly all money is taxed multiple times, stop acting like the estate tax is special. I get taxed on my income. Then that money, which has already been taxed, gets taxed again nearly any time I buy shit (sales tax), earn on my savings (and that's taxed at income rates, not capital gains, so that's a double fuck you), or do anything else other than keep the damn money in a mattress.

This. And who better to tax than dead rich people?

yeah but that's like saying it ain't me so screw them, that tax doesn't apply to me

I like to think that I wouldn't care if I had that much.

Just wondering, TC, but how much did you weight at graduation? How many years ago was that? I graduated about almost 9 years ago. And to this day, I still look good. Though there have been times where my weight went outta control and was eating at night. The highest I've been was 225, than I got a wake up call and slimmed back down to 177. To this day, I'm always working out every day, watching what I eat, and keeping track of my weight.

Christmas and Thanksgiving are the hardest times for me in terms of keeping my weight in check though.

June 3, 2016 was graduation, I weight 215-220.
