Eh, there's kind of a difference. The difference is, my credit card limit is determined by my wages...which I pay taxes on, rather than untaxable assets I don't want to sell because my children will inherit them at market value and sell for 0 taxable gain whereas it'd cost me billions. Thank you, at least you do get it. I get what you are saying that my title could be better but I am saying it shouldn't matter as the content discusses that "yes they pay some tax like sales tax" but they don't pay taxes on their gains which are infact realized as income just not considered as being income by technicalities ...

you understand that they could just live a frugal lifestyle, be billionaire and pay very little in taxes without borrowing against their stock values and people like you would still be upset, and by very little I mean a few 100ks a year which is still a shitload of money to pay in taxes yearly given the public services anyone is using then they wouldn't actually be a billionaire because they wouldn't actually have billions in cash do you still not understand this? ...

Point is they can go to bank for a loan of 1 billion anytime they want, get it cause their worth is $100+ billion and use debit to whatever they want just like the money sitting in your account right now but yeah they likely do have several million to you know, pay property taxes and other maintenance bills pay the chef, gardener etc ...

Okay, here's my problem...Once I read the professor's tax loophole scheme, I didn't think it mattered that much, because the estate would still be taxed on all of the stocks after I died, as it's based on assets. This is true, but not entirely...
Scenario 1: I sell all my 100 billion in stocks, pay 20% in capital gains. I die later on with 30 billion dollars unspent, after squandering 70 billion on personal expenses (Let's assume I paid the taxes due with my savings for simplicity's sake, lol). My kids inherit that money, and since I'm rich, my estate pays money in estate taxes only on that 30 billion that is remaining. Scenario 2: I instead finance all of my 70 billion in personal expenses with a loan, and die retaining my 100 billion in stocks. My estate/children get a step-up in stock basis, meaning they inherit the stocks at market value on my day of death, and they sell all 100 billion before the funeral at no taxable profit (those moneygrubbing jerks). My estate does have to pay estate taxes before transferring the funds to my kids...BUT, because I have a 70 billion loan outstanding, the estate is only taxed on 30 billion of net assets, despite the fact I never paid any taxes on the 70 while I was alive. This is a very simplistic example - a lot of those 70 of personal expenses were probably houses and yachts, which would be taxable assets for the estate, and those loans are probably not that large even for Bezos - but essentially, most of it STILL ends up never being taxed, lol. --- ()xxx[]:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Vanquisher of Gadonuts & The Ghost o' Quakecon Yet To Come ...

But much about American life is not fair. We live with the greatest wealth divide since the Gilded Age. CEOs are getting record-breaking multimillion-dollar paydays, while unemployment benefits are getting reduced or cut off for millions of Americans. These divisions lead to inequality of opportunity, with childrens educational and earnings outcomes dependent on their parents net worth. ... Copied to Clipboard!
