Youre saying on one hand, an inheritance tax wont limit the investments and savings and working potential of someone before their death

Yet...

not to any meaningful degree, you just choose a rate of tax which wont cause capital flight to any serious measure

say i only had a 2% inheritance tax, is that REALLY going to make you work less hard

I can assume one of your reasons why you support it is because layabout sons and daughters will inherit and wont be incentivized to work , invest etc

of course not

so there are tax rates that will have barely any impact on your working decisions

ye thats one reason

Thats an inherent contradiction, but besides that, will you at least acknowledge that if you had an estate tax of some magnitude, the least well off would foot a grand portion of the bill

Since they least know how to avoid this tax

the vast majority of people arent working to get an inheritance, theyre working so *they have enough to live off during their retirement*

An inheritance certainly helps especially paying for funeral expenses

At the very least

no i dont acknowledge that, because the least well off *DONT HAVE ANY FUCKING INHERITANCE*

80K a year

I just showed you

Median

holy shit youre dumb

Average 175K

thats the 50th percentile

not the 1st percentile

Yeah half the population

....

the 50th percentile arent *the least well off* you fucking spastic

Thats literally half the population, not all of those are your fantasy evil men in monocles

>comes in here trying to prove me to be stupid
>comes off looking stupid himself

People buy life insurance policies and invest to put aside for their future possibly their deaths

you said "acknowledge inheritance tax would hurt the least well off"
but the least well off are the people in the 1st percentile, *who have no wealth at all*

so it cant possibly hurt them

*dumbbbbb*

I dont even get your argument youre saying that unless youre a literal hobo the tax wont affect you

Lets expand it out

What is it like half the us population is 1 paycheque away from.bankruptcy

thats the worst interpretation of my argument, that ive seen, ever

3/4ths have credit card debt over 20K

A lot of those could use some relief

yep thats all terrible

agreed

Yeah
